Lyics

INFINITE excellence is thine,

Thou lovely Prince of Grace!

Thy uncreated beauties shine

With never-fading rays.



Sinners from earth's remotest end

Come bending at thy feet;

To thee their prayers and praise ascend,

In thee their wishes meet.



Thy name, as precious ointment shed,

Delights the church around;

Sweetly the sacred odors spread

Through all Immanuel's ground.



Millions of happy spirits live

On thy exhaustless store;

From thee they all their bliss receive,

And still thou givest more.



Thou art the triumph and their joy;

They find their all in thee;

Thy glories will their tongues employ

Through all eternity.
