Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXVII (1791) Lyrics: 1 O for a sweet inspiring Ray,
To animate our feeble Strains,
From the bright Realms of Endless Day,
The blissful Realms, where Jesus reigns!
2 There low before his glorious Throne,
Adoring Saints and Angels fall
And with delightful Worship own
His Smile their Bliss, their Heav'n, their all.
3 Immortal Glories crown his Head,
While tuneful Hallelujahs rise:
And Love, and Joy, and Triumph spread
Thro' all th' Assemblies of the Skies.
4 He Smiles, and Seraphs Tune their Songs,
To boundless Rapture while they Gaze;
Ten thousand thousand joyful tongues
Resound his Everlasting Praise.
5 There all the ransom'd of the Lamb
Shall join at last the Heav'nly choir;
O may the Joy-inspiring them,
Awake our Faith, our warm Desire!
6 Dear Saviour, let thy Spirit Seal
Our Int'rest in that blissful Place.
Till Death remove this Mortal Veil
And we behold thy lovely Face. Languages: English
