Verse 1
Thanks be to God, whose truth, and power
And faithful mercies never end,
Who brings us thro’ the mortal hour,
And bids our spotless souls ascend!
Verse 2
Thanks be to God, the God of love,
The Giver of all-conquering grace,
Who calls our Friend to joys above,
And shows him there his open face.
Verse 3
The God whom here his faith beheld,
The Father’s fulness in his Son
He sees in glorious light reveal’d,
And shouts, and falls before the throne.
Verse 4
We, Saviour, at thy footstool lie,
Thy creatures purchas’d by thy blood,
And holy, holy, holy cry,
In honor of the Tri-une God;
Verse 5
With angels, and archangels join,
With all the ransom’d sons of grace
Extol the Majesty Divine,
And breathe unutterable praise.
Verse 6
We praise thy constancy of love
Which kept its fav’rite to the end;
Which soon shall all our souls remove
Who trust in our Eternal Friend:
Verse 7
To us who in thy blood believe
The world, the fiend, and sin tread down,
Thou wilt the final victory give,
And then the bright, triumphant crown.
