XCVII. THE SAME.
Hymn 14.
[Meet and right it is to sing]
Meet and right it is to sing
At every time and place,
Glory to our heavenly King,
The God of truth and grace:
Join we then with sweet accord,
All in one thanksgiving join,
Holy, holy, holy, Lord,
Eternal praise be Thine!
At every time and place,
Glory to our heavenly King,
The God of truth and grace:
Join we then with sweet accord,
All in one thanksgiving join,
Holy, holy, holy, Lord,
Eternal praise be Thine!
Thee the first-born sons of light
In choral symphonies
Praise by day, day without night,
And never, never cease:
Angels, and archangels all
Sing the mystic Three in One,
Sing, and stop, and gaze, and fall
O'erwhelm'd before Thy throne.

Sing the mystic Three in One,
Sing, and stop, and gaze, and fall
O'erwhelm'd before Thy throne.
Vying with that happy choir
Who chant Thy praise above,
We on eagles' wings aspire,
The wings of faith and love:
Thee they sing with glory crown'd,
We extol the slaughter'd Lamb,
Lower if our voices sound,
Our subject is the same.

Father, God, Thy love we praise,
Which gave Thy Son to die,
Jesus full of truth and grace
Alike we glorify;
Spirit, Comforter Divine,
Praise by all to Thee be given,
Till we in full chorus join,
And earth is turn'd to heaven.
