Devote our every hour to thee :
Speak but the word, our souls shall wake,
And sing with cheerful melody ;
Thy praise shall our glad tongues employ,
And every heart shall dance for joy.
4 Shout in the midst of us, O King
Of saints, and make our joys abound ;
Let us exult, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph in redemption found :
We ask for every waiting soul,
O let our glorious joy be full !
5 O may we all triumphant rise,
With joy upon our heads return,
And far above those nether skies,
By thee on eagles' wings upborne,
Through all yon radiant circles move
And gain the highest heaven of love !

With crowns of joy upon our heads

My misery mark, attend my prayer,
And bring salvation nigh.
2 If thou art rigorously severe,
Who may the test abide ?
Where shall the man of sin appear,
Or how be justified ?
3 But, O forgiveness is with thee,
That sinners may adore;
With filial fear thy goodness see,
And never grieve thee more.
4 My soul, while still to Him it flies,
Prevents the morning ray :
O that his mercy's beams would rise,
And bring the gospel day !

5 Ye faithful souls, confide in God,
Mercy with Him remains ;
Plenteous redemption through his blood,
To wash out all your stains.

From all their sins redeem ;

And we are just in Him.
