LyicsTo him, who did salvation bring,
Wake ev'ry tuneful power and sing
A song of sweetest praise:
His grace diffuses as the rains,
Crowns nature's flow'ry hills and plains,
And spreads a thousand ways.
Salvation is the noblest song,
O may it dwell on ev'ry tongue,
And all repeat, Amen!
The Lord is come from heav'n to earth,
To give his people second birth,
And make them one again.
We feel redemption drawing near,
We soon in glory shall appear,
And be for ever blest:
His promise never can decay,
Our Jesus now is on his way,
To give his people rest.
By faith we view him coming down,
With angels hov'ring all around;
He smiles upon his saints:
He cries aloud in meling strains;
I come to save you from your pains,
And end your sore complaints.
The smiling millions rise and sing,
All glory! glory to our King!
The grand Assize is come:
You everlasting doors fly wide,
The church all glorious as a bride,
And Jesus takes her home.
In all the heav'ns there's not a tear,
Nor in the realms of bliss a fear,
But pleasures yet unknown:
From heav'n to heav'n we sound the bliss,
O what a glorious heav'n is this,
For ever round the throne!
The joys of heav'n will never end;
All glory to the sinner's Friend!
Roll on you happy scenes:
You winged seraphs help us praise
The author of eternal joys:
Our Jesus ever reigns.
