SONG III.
[1] How great this Glory is No mortal tongue can tell: 1But that it far exceeds our thoughts And words we know full well. 'Tis that which Christ's own Blood Hath purchased and acquired: 'Tis that which God will then bestow That he may be admired.
[1] HOw great this Glory is No mortal tongue can tell: 1But that it far exceeds our thoughts And words we know full well. 'Tis that which Christ's own Blood Hath purchas'd and acquir'd: 'Tis that which God will then bestow That he may be admir'd.
[2] God's ways are not like ours,1 Nor are his thoughts like our: For he will glorify his Grace And magnify his Power, Yea and his Wisdom too By glorifying us, And therefore Christ will make his Saints Exceeding glorious.
