L. To Jesus Christ

1 Come let us all unite to praise
The Saviour of Mankind,
Our thankful Hearts in solemn lays,
Be with our Voices join'd.

2 But how shall Dust his Worth declare,
When Angels try in vain;
Their Faces veil when they appear
Before the Son of Man.

3 O Lord, we cannot Silent be,--
By Love we are constrain'd
To offer our best Thanks to Thee,
Our Saviour, and our Friend!

4 Tho' feeble are our best Essays,
Thy Love will not dispise
Our grateful Songs of humble Praise,
Our well-meant Sacrifice.

5 Let ev'ry Tongue thy Goodness show,
And spread abroad thy Fame:
Let ev'ry Heart with praise o'erflow,
And bless thy sacred Name!

6 Worship and Honour, Thanks and Love,
Be to our Jesus giv'n!
By Men below,--by Hosts above,--
By all in Earth and Heav'n!
