Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #146 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And are we now brought near to God,
Who once at distance stood?
And, to effect this glorious change,
Did Jesus shed his blood?
2 O for a song of ardent praise,
To bear our souls above!
What should allay our lively hope,
Or damp our flaming love?
3 Then let us join the heav'nly choirs,
To praise our heav'nly King.
O may that grace which he has shown,
Inspire us while we sing:
4 Glory to God in highest strains,
And to the earth be peace!
Good-will from heav'n to men is come,
And let it never cease!
