On the great auspicious day

Verse 1
On the great, auspicious day
When He forms his church below,
Every tongue should homage pay,
His stupendous mercies show:
Meet and right it is, that all
Should in one thanksgiving join’d
On the common Saviour call,
Praise the Lord of all mankind.

Verse 2
Mighty miracles of love,
Jesus, thou for us hast wrought,
God descended from above
By thy blood the nations bought;
Rais’d, thou dost thy members raise,
Pour thy Spirit from on high,
Fill the vessels of thy grace,
Fit, and bear us to the sky.
