HYMN XCVI.

[Who shall join the acclamation]

Who shall join the acclamation
Of that bright celestial choir,
While with rapturous exultation
All in songs of praise aspire?
Hallelujah
Sounds from every tuneful lyre.
I, if here I love my Lover,
Here my heart to Jesus give,
When this mortal life is over,
Shall a harp and crown receive,
Hallelujah
Sing, as long as God shall live.
