O for a sweet, inspiring ray,
To animate our feeble strains,
From the bright realms of endless day,
The blissful realms where Jesus reigns.
There low before the glorious throne,
Adoring saints and angels fall!
And with delightful worship own
His smile their bliss, their heaven, their all.
Immortal glories crown His head,
While tuneful hallelujahs rise,
And love, and joy, and triumph spread,
Through all the assemblies of the skies.
He smiles, and seraphs tune their songs,
To boundless rapture while they gaze;
Ten thousand, joyful tongues
Resound His everlasting praise.
There all the followers of the Lamb
Shall join at last the heavenly choir;
Oh, may the joy-inspiring theme
Awake our faith and warm desire!
