277: CHRIST'S glory fills eternity

277: CHRIST'S glory fills eternity

by Joseph Swain (1761-1796)

1 CHRIST'S glory fills eternity,
Eternity which was and is;
And all eternity to be
Will shine with His undying praise;
To Him who lives but once was slain
Be honour, power, and praise, Amen.

2 To Him who shines before our eyes
In robes of uncreated light;
Whose glories ever on us rise
And fill us with supreme delight;
To Him who lives but once was slain
Be honour, power, and praise, Amen.

3 To Him whose everlasting love
Sent forth those precious streams of grace,
Which made us long to dwell above,
And led us to this blissful place;
To Him who lives but once was slain
Be honour, power, and praise, Amen.
