Once more dear brethren join to sing
Jesus our Lord, our heavenly King;
His praise proclaim with sweet accord,
And worship him, for he’s your Lord.
Unite to shew his glory forth,
Sing of his excellence and worth;
His loving kindness here record,
And worship him, for he’s your Lord’.
O trust and triumph in his name,
Jesus unchangeably the same ;
His name shall endless joys afford,
Then worship him, for he’s your Lord
O make his praise in all.you do,
Your blessedness and business too!
This as your sweet employ regard,
To worship him, for he’s your Lord.
|
Before him walk in humble faith,
And in him trust in life and death;
Worthy is he to be ador’d,
Then worship him, for he’s your Lord.
Though from each other here we part,
With him we trust we’re join’d in heart;
He’s our exceeding great reward,
And him we’ll worship as our Lord.
'Ere long our happy souls shall meet,
In glory boundless and complete;
And there according to his word,
Forever worship him our Lord.
