Now let each happy guest

The sacred concert raise,

To close the honors of the feast,

And sing the Master’s praise.

2 His condescending love

First calls our wonder forth;

He left the blesséd realms above,

To dwell with men on earth.

3 His precepts, how divine!

How suited to our state!

How bright his acts of mercy shine

His promises how great!

4 Redemption’s glorious plan,

How wondrous in our view!

The salutary source to man

Of peace and pardon too.
