TO God in holy praise
We lift our voice today,
And on this earth commence the song
We’ll sing in heaven for aye.
The Father’s eye of love
Has viewed us from afar,
Before the earth its being had,
Or sun, or moon, or star.
The Son in heavenly grace
Came down as man to die:
Our sins removed, and by His blood
We’re made forever nigh.
Sealed by the Holy Ghost
Until redemption’s day,
We tread in faith by His blest power
Our onward, heavenly way.
Thus loved, and saved, and sealed,
We wait for Him to come,
Whose present grace and perfect love
Have made that heaven our home.
