Lyics

Glory, glory everlasting,

Be to him who bore the cross,

Who redeemed our souls by tasting

Death, the death deserved by us:

Sound his glory

While our heart with transport glows.



Jesus' love is love unbounded,

Without measure, without end:

Human thought is here confounded;

'T is too vast to comprehend;

Praise the Savior;

Magnify the sinner's Friend.



While we hear the wondrous story

Of the Savior's cross and shame,

Sing we, "Everlasting glory

Be to God and to the Lamb!"

Saints and angels,

Give ye glory to his name.
