And can this mighty King He reigns! the Lord, the Savior reigns I cry till all my voice be gone Joy to the world! The Lord is come

Lord, what a feeble piece Save me, O God; the swelling flood There is a house not made with hands

This life's a dream, an empty show Through every age, eternal God Welcome, sweet day of rest
