LyicsBrethren, cast your eyes around,
Sight divine comes flowing down,
God unveils his shining face,
Fills us with his heav'nly grace.
Let us all embrace the light,
Walk as in God's holy sight;
In his blessed image shine,
Fellowship, the love divine.
Tho' by nature, heirs of wrath;
We have tri'd a bloody bath;
It has cleans'd the poison out,
Scatter'd every painful doubt.
We by grace are justifi'd,
In this grace we still abide,
And this grace we all agree,
Is to ev'ry sinner free.
We will sing and shout and pray,
Till we reach eternal day;
And when all these scenes are past,
Still our fellowship shall last.
Still the little shouting band,
Shall in perfect union stand;
And the exercise be one,
Round the everlasting throne.
