540. O What Delight Is This

1 O what delight is this,
Which now in Christ we know,
An earnest of our glorious bliss,
Or heaven begun below!

2 When He the table spreads,
How royal is the cheer!
With rapture we lift up our heads,
And own that God is here.

3 The Lamb for sinners slain,
Who died to die no more,
Let all the ransomed sons of men,
With all His hosts adore.

4 Let earth and heaven be joined,
His glories to display,
And hymn the Savior of mankind
In one eternal day.
