Attend, while God's exalted Son Doth his own glories show: "Behold, I sit upon my throne, Creating all things new. | "Nature and sin are passed away, And the old Adam dies; My hands a new foundation lay, See the new world arise. | "I'll be a Sun of Righteousness To the new heav'ns I make; None but the new-born heirs of grace My glories shall partake." | Mighty Redeemer! set me free From my old state of sin; O make my soul alive to thee, Create new powers within. | Renew mine eyes, and form mine ears, And mold my heart afresh; Give me new passions, joys, and fears, And turn the stone to flesh. | Far from the regions of the dead, From sin, and earth, and hell, In the new world that grace has made, I would for ever dwell. | |
