Let us, the sheep by Jesus named,
Our Shepherds mercy bless;
Let us, whom Jesus hath redeemed,
Shew forth our thankfulness.
Not unto us, to thee alone,
Be praise and glory given;
Here shall thy praises be begun,
But carried on in heaven.
The hosts of spirits now with thee,
Eternal anthems sing;
To imitate them here, lo! we
Our hallelujahs bring.
Had we our tongues like them inspired,
Like theirs our songs should rise;
Like them we never should be tired,
But love the sacrifice.
Till we this veil of flesh lay down,
Accept our weaker lays;
And when, O Lord, we reach thy throne
Well join in nobler praise.
