Lyics

To him who did salvation bring,

Wake ev'ry tuneful power, and sing

A song of sweetest praise:

His grace diffuses, as the rains

Crown nature's flow'ry hills and plains,

And spread a thousand ways.



Salvation is the noblest song,

O may it dwell on ev'ry tongue,

And all repeat, Amen!

The Lord will come from heav'n to earth

To give his people second birth,

And make them one again.



We feel redemption drawing near;

We soon in glory shall appear,

And be for ever bless'd:

His promise never can delay,

Our Jesus, on th' appointed day,

Will give his people rest.



By faith we view him coming down,

With angels hov'ring all around;

He smiles upon his saints:

He cries aloud in melting strains,

I come to save you from your pains,

And end your sore complaints.



The smiling millions rise and sing

All glory! glory to our King;

The Grand Assize is come!

You everlasting doors, fly wide,

The Church is glorious as a bride,

And Jesus take her home.



In all the heav'ns there's not a tear,

Nor in the realms of bliss a fear,

But pelasure yet unknow:

From heav'n to heav'n we sound the bliss

O what a blest abode is this,

For ever round the throne!



The joys of heav'n will never end;

All glory to the sinner's Friend!

Roll on, you happy scenes!

You winged seraphs, help us praise

The Author of eternal joys!

Our Jesus ever reigns.
