[On Thee, great God, we still attend]

Then will I turn to the people a pure language, &c. —iii. 9.

On Thee, great God, we still attend,
Till judgment shall in mercy end,
And wrath in universal grace:
The promise to Thy church is sure,
Our hearts, and lives, and language pure
Shall speak our new-Creator's praise.
Then every soul his Lord shall know,
And every spotless saint below
Perform Thy will, like those above;

106

We all shall think, and speak the same,
And serve our God, and praise Thy name
With perfect harmony and love.
