My gracious Redeemer I love!

His praises aloud I’ll proclaim,

And join with the armies above

To shout his adorable name.

2 To gaze on his glories divine

Shall be my eternal employ,

And feel them incessantly shine,

My boundless, ineffable joy.

3 You palaces, scepters, and crowns,

Your pride with disdain I survey,

Your pomps are but shadows and sounds,

And pass in a moment away.

4 The crown that my Saviour bestows,

Yon permanent sun shall outshine;

My joy everlastingly flows—

My God, my Redeemer, is mine.
