LyicsMy gracious Re-deem-er I love!
His praises a-loud I'll pro-claim,
And join with the ar-mies a-bove,
To shout his a-dor-a-ble name.
To gaze on his glo-ries di-vine
Shall be my e-ter-nal em-ploy,
And feel them in-ces-sant-ly shine,
My boundless, in-ef-fa-ble joy.
You palaces, scepters, and crowns,
Your pride with disdain I survey,
Your pomps are but shadows and sounds,
And pass in a moment away.
The crown that my Savior bestows
Yon permanent sun shall outshine;
My joy everlastingly flows-
My God, my Redeemer, is mine.
