God. glorious and sinners saved,
1 FEATHER, how wide thy glory shines!

Known through the earth by thousand signs

The triumph of his groans !

Adorn the heavenly plains ;
Sweet cherubs learn Emmanuel’s name,
And try their choicest strains.
6 O may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song ;
Wonder and joy shall tune my heart.
And love command my tongue,
