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 counsel and His care,

Preserve us safe from sin, and death,

And every hurtful snare.



He will present our souls,

Unblemish'd and complete,

Before the glory of His face,

With joys divinely great.



To our Redeemer, God,

Wisdom and pow'r belong,

Immortal crowns of majesty,

And everlasting song.
