- 1Crown His head with endless blessing,
- Who, in God the Father's name,
- With compassions never ceasing,
- Comes, salvation to proclaim.
- 2Hail, ye saints, who know His favor,
- Who within His gates are found,
- Hail, ye saints, th' exalted Saviour;
- Let His courts with praise abound.
- 3Jesus, Thee our Saviour hailing;
- Thee our God in praise we own;
- Highest honors, never failing,
- Rise eternal round Thy throne.
- 4Now, ye saints, His pow'r confessing,
- In your grateful strains adore;
- For His mercy, never ceasing,
- Flows and flows for evermore.
