The Christian's Duty ‎#S.XVII

S.XVII. O Thou God of my Salvation

1 O thou God of my salvation,
My Redeemer from all Sin,
Mov'd to this by great Compassion,
Yearning Bowels from within:
I will praise thee: :
Where shall I thy Praise begin?

2 While the Angel-Choirs are crying;
Glory to the Great I AM!
I with them will still be vying.,
Glory, glory, to the Lamb!
O how precious: :
Is the Sound of Jesu's Name!

3 Now I see, with Joy and Wonder,
Whence the healing Streams arose;
Angels-Minds are lost to ponder
Dying Lov's mysterious cause;
Yet the Blessing
Down to all, to me it flows.

4 Tho unseen, I love the Saviour,
He Almighty Grace hath shown;
Pardoned Guilt and purchas'd Favour!
This he makes to Mortals known;
Give him Glory,
Glory, Glory is his own.

5 Angels now are hov'ring round us,
Unperceiv'd they mix the Throng,
Wond'ring at the Love that crown'd us,
Glad to sing the holy Song:
Hallelujah,
Love and praise to Christ belong.
