Lyics

To him that lov'd 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 ev'ry tongue be praise,

And ev'ry 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 pierc'd him sadly mourn,

In anguish and dismay.



Thou art the First, and thou the Last;

Time centers all in thee;

Almightly Lord, who wast, and art,

And evermore shalt be.
