Lyics

AMID the splendors of thy state,

O God, thy love appears,

Soft as the radiance of the moon,

Among a thousand stars.



Sinai in clouds, and smoke, and fire,

Thunders thine awful name,

But Zion sings in melting notes,

The honors of the Lamb.



Angels and men the news proclaim,

Through earth and heaven above:

And all with holy transport sing

That God, the Lord, is love.



DOXOLOGY.

Holy and just in all thy ways,

Art thou, O King of saints!

Through endless ages are thy days,

And nought thy nature taints.
