Jesus, Thou everlasting King, Accept the tribute which we bring; Accept thy well-deserved renown, And wear our praises as Thy crown. Let every act of worship be Like our espousals, Lord, to Thee: Like the blest hour, when from above We first received the pledge of love. The gladness of that happy day, O may it ever, ever stay: Nor let our faith forsake its hold, Nor hope decline, nor love grow cold. Let every moment, as it flies, Increase Thy praise, improve our joys, Till we are raised to sing Thy name, At the great supper of the Lamb. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SONG TO DAVID by CHRISTOPHER SMART LEGENDARY LIGHTS by ALTER ABELSON IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH SPLENDID ISOLATION; A MORAL FROM LEXINTON, 1775 by KATHARINE LEE BATES HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 5 by WILLIAM BOSWORTH THE IDEAL by ANNE CHARLOTTE LYNCH BOTTA THE STORM by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH |
