What endless glory shines!
Forever be thy name adored
For these celestial lines.

2 Here may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches find,
Riches above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind.

And yields a free repast;
Sublimer sweets than nature knows,
Invite the longing taste.

Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life, and everlasting joys,
Attend the blissful sound.

My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light!

And view my Savior near.
