Eternal praise, our God, shall rise
In mansions fair beyond the skies
Thy name to celebrate;
But joyful songs e'en here we raise
Our God and Father now to praise,
While for our Lord we wait.
When ruined, guilty and undone,
Thou gav'st for us Thine only Son
To suffer, bleed and die;
Rejoicing in Thy love we sing,
Praise for Thy gift of gifts we bring,
His name to magnify.
We praise Thee
in our pathway here;
Far off we were,
but now brought near
Through Jesus Christ our Lord:
Fresh grace for
every moment here,
Fresh manna through
the desert drear,
The Spirit doth afford.
When He shall come,
for whom we wait,
We then shall see
and know how great
The gain that faith had stored;
But here our joyful songs we raise
Our God and Father now to praise,
While waiting for our Lord.
