Lyics

To GOD, the only wise,

Our Saviour and our King,

Let all the saints below the skies

Their humble praises bring.



'Tis his almighty love,

His counsels and his care,

Preserve us safe from sin and death,

And ev'ry hurtful snare.



He will present our souls,

Unblemish'd and complete,

Before the glory of his face,

With joys divinely great.



Then all the chosen seed

Shall meet around the throne;

Shall bless the conduct of his grace,

And make his wonders known.
