With transport, Lord, our souls proclaim
Th' immortal honours of thy name;
Assembled round our Saviour's throne,
We make his ceaseless glories known.
High on his Father's royal seat,
Our Jesus shone divinely great;
Ere Adam's clay with life was warmed,
Or Gabriel's nobler spirit formed.
Through all succeeding ages, he
The same hath been....the same shall be;
Immortal radiance gilds his head,
While stars and suns wax old, and fade.
The same his power his flock to guard;
The same his bounty to reward;
The same his faithfulness and love,
To saints on earth and saints above.
Let nature change, and sink, and die;
Jesus shall raise his chosen high;
And fix them near his stable throne,
In glory changeless as his own.
---Alternative verses---
Through all revolving ages, he
The same hath been....the same shall be;
Immortal radiance gilds his head,
While stars and suns wax old, and fade.
Let nature change, and sink, and die;
Jesus shall raise his chosen high;
And fix them near his steadfast throne,
In glory changeless as his own.
