You we would be always blessing, Serve you as your hosts above, Pray, and praise you without ceasing, Glory in your perfect love. 3 Finish then your new creation, Pure and spotless, gracious Lord. Let us see your great salvation Perfectly in you restored. Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav'n we take our place, Till we sing before the Almighty, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Gather all your people in, free from sorrow, free from sin; there for ever purified, in your presence to abide: come, with all your angels, come, raise the glorious harvest-home.
