- 1O for a sweet, inspiring ray,
- To animate our feeble strains,
- From the bright realms of endless day,
- The blissful realms, where Jesus reigns.
- 2There, low before His glorious throne,
- Adoring saints and angels fall;
- And with delightful worship own,
- His smile their bliss, their heaven, their all.
- 3Immortal glories crown His head,
- While tuneful hallelujahs rise,
- And love, and joy, and triumph spread
- Through all th' assemblies of the skies.
- 4He smiles, and seraphs tune their songs
- To boundless rapture while they gaze;
- Ten thousand thousand joyful tongues
- Resound His everlasting praise.
- 5There, all the favorites of the Lamb
- Shall join at last the heavenly choir;
- O may the joy-inspiring theme
- Awake our faith and warm desire.
- 6Dear Saviour, let Thy Spirit seal
- Our interest in that blissful place;
- Till death remove this mortal veil,
- And we behold Thy lovely face.
