104; HYMNS.
3 Jesus, thy love exceeds our thought.
But this at least we see ;
The soul that feels its pow’r is taught
To part with all for thee.
4 And tho’ thy love be faintly seen.
What’s seen demands our praise i
Without this view we still had been
Engag’d in folly’s ways.
5 But when we lay this flesh aside.
And gain the realms of light.
Obscuring clouds no more shall hide
Thy glory from our sight.
6 Then to the praise of love divine,
We’ll tune our sounding lyres:
With heart and voice we’ll sweetly join
The everlasting choirs.
104.
The same. Rev. v. 11—13.
1 f^OME, let us join our cheerful songs.
With angels round the throne :
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.
2 “ Worthy the Lamb that died,” they cry,
“ To be exalted thus
“ Worthy the Lamb,” our lips reply,
“ For he was slain for ns.”
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
Honour and pow’r divine:
And blessings more than we can give.
Be, Lord, for ever thine.
4 Let all that dwell above the sky.
And air, and earth, and seas.
Conspire to lift thy glories high.
And speak thine endless praise.
