Lyics

HAIL, Thou God of grace and glory,

Who Thy name hast magnified,

By redemption's wondrous story,

By the Saviour crucified;

Thanks to Thee for every blessing,

Flowing from the Fount of love;

Thanks for present good unceasing,

And for hopes of bliss above.



Bind Thy people, Lord, in union,

With the sevenfold cord of love;

Breathe a spirit of communion

With the glorious hosts above;

Let Thy work be seen progressing;

Bow each heart, and bend each knee,

Till the world, Thy truth possessing,

Celebrates its jubilee.
