On earth the song begins;
  In heaven more sweet and loud-
     "To Him that cleansed our sins
  By His atoning blood;
      To Him," we sing in joyful strain,
     "Be honour, power, and praise, Amen."

Alone He bare the cross,
  Alone its grief sustained;
     His was the shame and loss,
  And He the victory gained;
     The mighty work was all His own,
     Tho' we shall share His glorious throne.
