BLESSED, only Son of God
Evermore,
Soon by heaven and earth adored
Evermore,
Gladly now we own Thee Lord
Evermore.
We shall see Thy radiant face
Evermore;
Thou alone wilt fill each place
Evermore
In our hearts, constrained by grace
Evermore.
Of Thy sufferings infinite,
Evermore,
Of Thy death, which won the fight,
Evermore
We shall tell with deep delight
Evermore.
In Thy body and Thy bride
Evermore,
Like Thee, with Thee glorified
Evermore,
Lord, Thou wilt be magnified
Evermore.
