Lyics

Attend ye children of our God;

Ye heirs of glory hear;

For accents so divine as these

Might charm the dullest ear.



Baptiz'd into your Saviour's death,

Your souls to sin must die:

With Christ, your Lord, ye live anew,

With Christ ascend on high.



There by his Father's side he sits,

Enthron'd divinely fair;

 Yet owns himself your brother still,

And your forerunner there.



Rise from these earthly trifles, rise,

On wings of faith and love,

Above your choicest treasure lies,

And be your hearts above.
