Lyics

NOW may the God of peace and love,

Who, from th' impres'ning grave,

Restor'd the Shepherd of the sheep,

Omnipotent to save-



Through the rich merits of that blood

Which he on Calv'ry spilt,

To make th' eternal cov'nant sure,

On which our hopes are built-



Perfect our souls in every grace

T' accomplish all his will,

And all that's pleasing in his sight

Inspire us to fulfil!



O for the great Messiah's sake,

Accept our humble lay;

With glory let his name be crown'd

Through heaven's eternal day!
