LORD, let our songs find acceptance before thee, And pierce through the skies to thine uppermost throne; For thou stoopest to listen when mortals adore thee, And sendest thy blessings like messengers down. 2 Our Father, our Father, we ask thee to guide us, And keep us from sin till life's journey be o'er; 3 Then the last sigh of nature, whate'er else betide us, Shall waft us to glory, when time is no more. 3 Then, then will we sing the sweet song of the blessed, And mingle our strains with the myriads above; Far surpassing all strains that our tongues e'er expressed, And Jesus, the chorus, and infinite love. 30 Tune, Silver Street.

My God and my Saviour to see! 4 I want to put on my attire, Washed white in the blood of the Lamb. I want to be one of your choir, And tune my sweet harp to his name; I want,-O, I want to be there, Where sorrow and sin bid adieu, Your joy and your friendship to share, To wonder and worship with you! |
