“My Advocate appears on high,
The Father lays his thunders by;
Not all that earth or hell can say,
Shall turn my Father’s heart away.

“My Lord, my Conqueror, and my King,
Thy sceptre and thy sword I sing;
Thine is the victory, and I sit
A joyful subject at thy feet.

“Aspire, my soul, to glorious deeds,
The Captain of salvation leads;
March on, nor fear to win the day,
Though death and hell obstruct thy way.

“Though death and hell, and powers unknown,
Put all their forms of mischief on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
Salvation in more sovereign ways.”

“Be this my one great business here,
With holy trembling, holy fear,
To make my calling sure;
Thine utmost counsel to fulfil,
And suffer all thy righteous will,
And to the end endure.

“Then, Saviour, then my soul receive,
Transported from this vale, to live,
And reign with thee above: 
Where faith is sweetly lost in sight,
And hope in full supreme delight,
And everlasting love.”

“Hush, my distrustful heart,
And cease to flow, my tears;
For greater, Lord, thou art
Than all my doubts and fears. 
Did Jesus once upon me shine? 
Then Jesus is for ever mine.

“Unchangeable his will,
Whatever be my frame: 
My Saviour’s heart is still
Eternally the same. 
My soul through many changes goes,
His love no variation knows.

“Thou, Lord, wilt carry on,
And perfectly perform,
The work thou hast begun
In me, vile sinful worm. 
Mine own self-will brings grief and woe,
But Jesus will not let me go.

“The bowels of thy grace,
At first did freely move;
And still I see thy face,
And feel that God is love. 
Into thine arms my soul I cast;
By sovereign mercy saved at last.

“The Priest and Ark now move
To Jordan’s gulfy strand;
Come now in covenant love,
Take firm thy promised stand: 
Only to me thy countenance show,
I ask no more the Jordan through.”

“Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.

“Worthy the Lamb that died, they cry,
To be exalted thus;
Worthy the Lamb, our souls reply,
For he was slain for us.

“Jesus is worthy to receive
Honor and power divine;
And blessings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord, for ever thine.

“The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.”

_______________

“Give me the wings of faith, to rise
Within the veil, and see
The saints above, how great their joys,
How bright their glories be.
