LyicsTO HIM that loved the sons of men,
And washed us in his blood,
To royal honors raised our heads,
And made us priests to God-
To him let every tongue be praise,
And every heart be love,
All grateful honors paid on earth,
And nobler songs above.
Behold! on flying clouds he comes;
His saints shall bless the day,
While they that pierced him sadly mourn
In anguish and dismay.
Thou art the First, and thou the Last;
Time centers all in thee,
Almighty Lord, who wast, and art,
And evermore shalt be!
