Lyics

IMMORTAL God! on thee we call,

The great original of all!

Through thee we are, to thee we tend,

Our sure support, our glorious end.



We praise thy wise, mysterious grace,

That pitied our revolted race,

And Jesus, our great cov'nant head,

The Captain of salvation made.



Thy justice doom'd that he should die,

Who for our sins would satisfy;

His death was therefore fix'd of old,

And in thy word of truth foretold.



A scene of wonders here we see,

Worthy thy Son, and worthy thee;

And while this theme employs our tongues,

All heav'n unites its sweetest songs.
