LyicsTHY love, O Jesus! is a theme
That never, never old shall grow:
All ages of the church proclaim
How sweetly did its numbers flow.
Down from the birth of infant Time,
Through Eve, Abrah'm, and David's line,
Thy love did run in strains sublime;
And running with new glories shine:
Till thou wast found a babe, O Lord!
When angels throng'd t join our lay;
Until thy love, in streams of blood,
Bid all its wealthy stores display.
At thy ascent the spacious heav'n
All round re-echo'd with this theme,
When from the throne the word was giv'n,
"Let all the angels praise his name."
At thy return, eternal fame
From all the saints shall sound to thee,
On banks of Eden's cheering stream,
Beneath the life-restoring tree.
