CCCVI. At the Close of Worship

1 How charmingly sounds
The word of the Lord!
Where witness abounds,
That man is restor'd
To God, his possession,
Dear Jesus in thee;
From sin and transgression
Forever set free.

2 How glor'ous the name
Of Jesus, our King!
Thou crucify'd Lamb,
Thine honours we sing:
Our hope and salvation
To world without end;
Our nearest relation,
And faithfulest friend.
