2 Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove;
But give it root in every heart,
To bring forth fruits of love.

3 Let not the world's deceitful cares The rising plant destroy;

But let it yield a hundred-fold
The fruits of peace and joy.

4 Oft as the precious seed is sown,
Thy quickening grace bestow,
That all whose souls the truth receive,
Its saving power may know.

Ev-er and ev - er - more we see- We see the Lord of hosts!

2 In heaven above, in heaven above,
What glory deep and bright!
The splendor of the noonday sun
Grows pale before its light:
The mighty sun that ne'er goes down,
Around whose gleam clouds never
Is God, the Lord of hosts. [frown,

3 In heaven above, in heaven above,
Behold a countless throng!
Angels in mystic radiance garbed
Lead the triumphal song:
Angels and saints are one, and I
Join glad the gladdest company,
And hail the Lord of hosts.

4 In heaven above, in heaven above,
No tears of pain are shed:
Nothing can there or fade or die;
Life's fulness round is spread,

[ocr errors]

And like an ocean, joy o'erflows,
And with immortal mercy glows
Our God the Lord of hosts.

5 In heaven above, in heaven above,
God hath a joy prepared,
Which mortal ear had never heard,
Nor mortal vision shared,
Which never pierced to mortal breast,
By mortal lips was ne'er expressed,
O God the Lord of hosts!

6 O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Accept my thankful praise:
Give me, as to the happy ones,
Treasure of endless days.
If firm in faith and hope I stand,
I gain the crown, the better land,
O God the Lord of hosts.

J. Aström, 1819
