Lyics

Sweet the time, exceeding sweet!

When the church together meet,

When the Saviour is the theme,

When they join to sing of him.



Sing we then eternal love,

Such as did the Fathr move:

He beheld the world undone,

Loved us still and gave his Son.



Sweet the time, exceeding sweet,

When the church together meet:

When the Saviour is the theme,

When they join to sing of him.
