Lyics

To God the only wise;

Our Saviour and our king;

Let all the saints below the skies,

Their humble praises bring.



Tis his almighty love,

His counsel and his care 

Reserves us safe from sin and death

And ev'ry hurtful snare.



He will present our souls

Unblemish'd and complete,

Before the glory of his face

With joys divinely sweet.



Then all the chosen seed,

Shall meet around his throne-

Shall bless the conduct of his grace,

And make his wonders known.



To our Redeemer God,

Wisdom and power belongs,

Immortal crowns of majesty,

And everlasting songs.
