Lyics

HERE we behold the dawn of bliss--
Here we behold the Saviour's grace--
Here we behold his precious blood,
Which sweetly pleads for us with God.


While here we sit we would implore
That love may spread from shore to shore,
Till all the saints like us combine
To praise the Lord in songs divine.


Here, by the bread and wine, we view
What boundless curses were our due:
But through the off'ring of our Lord
More than was lost is now restor'd.
