Verse 1
Young, and old, and men, and maidens,
Let us sing
Christ our King
Who his mourners gladdens;
Joyful now in expectation
We, ev’n we
Soon shall see
Jesus our salvation.

Verse 2
Truth himself the word hath spoken:
In his word
Christ the Lord
Gives us now a token;
Bids us stedfastly believe him,
’Till in love
From above
All who ask receive him.

Verse 3
We thro’ sin no longer drooping
Lift our eyes
To the skies,
For the promise hoping:
Jesus comes with all his merit;
Comes to me
One in Three,
Father, Son, and Spirit.

Verse 4
Conscious of his pard’ning power
We his name
Shall proclaim,
Teach the world t’ adore;
Tell what God hath done to bless us,
Us, and all
Them that call
On our loving Jesus.

Verse 5
We who have in Christ found favour,
Christ confess,
Publish peace
Thro’ the common Saviour:
Yes, the Father justifieth
Every one
On his Son
Who, like us, relieth.

Verse 6
He who cancel’d our offences,
Man and God
By his blood
All believers cleanses:
While the Spirit of consolation
Witness bears
In the heirs
Chosen to salvation.
