See, Lord, thy willing subjects bow,
Adoring low before thy throne;
Accept our humble, cheerful vow;
Thou art our Sovereign, thou alone.
Beneath thy soul-reviving ray,
E'en cold affliction's wintry gloom
Shall brighten into vernal day.
And hopes and joys immortal bloom.
Smile on our souls, and bid us sing,
In concert with the choir above,
The glories of our Saviour King,
The condescension of his love.
He died to raise to life and joy
The vile, the guilty, the undone:
O, let his praise each hour employ,
Till hours no more their circles run!
He died! ye seraphs, tune your songs!
Resound the Saviour's sacred name,
For nought below immortal tongues
Can ever reach the wod'rous theme.
