1 To God we render praise,
Who grants us new displays
Of mercy all our days.
When Christ, the Son of man, again
Shall come, the angels in His train
May all of us who here
‘Fore Him appear
Then meet Him without fear.

2 How great our joy shall be
In heaven, O Lord, where we
Thy glorious face shall see!
We then shall Thee for evermore
As the Lamb slain for us adore;
In realms of glory bright
With saints in light
In hymns of praise unite.

3 Repeat the solemn strain,
Worthy the Lamb once slain!
Let all replay, Amen!
Blessing and power and majesty
Through endless ages be to Thee,
Who us by blood hast bought,
In mercy sought,
And to the fold us brought.
