LyicsNOW let each happy guest
The sacred concert raise,
To close the honors of the feast,
And sing the Master's praise.
His condescending love
First calls our wonder forth;
He left the blessed realms above,
To dwell with men on earth.
His precepts, how divine!
How suited to our state!
How bright His acts of mercy shine!
His promises, how great!
Redemption's glorious plan,
How wondrous in our view!
The salutary source to man
Of peace and pardon too.
