The Morning Star ‎#18

18. My gracious Redeemer

1 My gracious Redeemer I love,
His praises aloud I'll proclaim,
And join with the armies above,
To shout His adorable name.
To gaze on His glories divine,
Shall be my eternal employ,
And feel them incessantly shine,
My boundless, ineffable joy.

2 Yon palaces, scepters and crowns,
Your pride with disdain I survey,
Your pomps are but shadows and sounds,
And pass in a moment away.
The crown that my Savior bestows,
Yon permanent sun shall outshine;
My joy everlastingly flows,
My God, my Redeemer, is mine.
