Opening Worship

Verse 1

Jesus, thou everlasting King, Accept the tribute which we bring, Accept thy well deserv'd renown, And wear our praises as thy crown.

Verse 2

Let ev'ry act of worship be Like our espousals, Lord, to thee: Like the blest hour, when from above, We first receiv'd the pledge of love.

Verse 3

The gladness of that happy day, O may it ever, ever stay! Nor let our faith forsake its hold, Nor hope decline, nor love grow cold!

Verse 4

Each following minute as it flies Increase thy praise, improve our joys, Till we are rais'd to sing thy name, At the great supper of the Lamb.
