Lyics

To him that loved the sons of men,

And washed us in his blood,

To roy-al hon-ors 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 shall be!
