Thanks we give and adoration,
For Thy gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of Thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound;
May Thy presence,
With us evermore be found.
So, whene'er the signal's given,
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on Angels' wings to Heaven,
Glad the summons to obey,
May we ever,
Reign with Christ in endless day.
HYMN 68.
Love Divine all love excelling,
Joy of Heav'n, to earth come down;
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All Thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion;
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter ev'ry waiting heart.
Come, Almighty, to deliver!
Let us all Thy grace receive;
Suddenly return and never,
Never more Thy temple leave.
Thee would we be ever blessing;
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above;
Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.
