LyicsO SWEET employ, to sing and trace
Th' amazing heights and depths of grace;
And spend, from sin and sorrow free,
A blissful, vast eternity!
O what a sweet, exalted song,
When every tribe, and every tongue,
Redeemed by blood, with Christ appear,
And join in one full chorus there!
My soul anticipates the day-
Would stretch her wings and soar away,
To aid the song, the palm to bear,
And praise my great Redeemer there.
