LyicsSWEET the time, exceeding sweet!
When the saints together meet;
When the Saviour is the theme--
When they join to sing of him.
Sing we then eternal love,
Such as did the Father move:
He beheld the world undone,
Loved mankind and gave his Son.
Sing the Son's unfading love;
How he left the realms above,
Took our nature and our place,
Lived and died to save our race.
Sweet the place, exceeding sweet,
Where the saints in glory meet;
Where the Saviour's still the theme,
Where they see and sing of him.
HALLELUJAH.
Praise him, O you sons of men!
Hallelujah! praise! Amen!
Praise him in the heavenly height,
Praise him with eternal might.
