Son of God ! with joy we praise Thee,
On the Father's throne above;
All Thy wondrous work displays Thee,
Full of grace and full of love !
Lord, accept our adoration--
For our sins Thou once wast slain;
Through Thy blood we have salvation;
Soon shall share Thine endless reign.

God, in Thee His love unfolding,
Shews how vast, how rich His grace;
Blest our lot, with joy beholding
All His glory in Thy face.
Oh ! the mercy which hath blessed us,
Purposed thus ere time began,
Mercy which in Thee hath kept us,
Where His blessed race He ran.
