By A Collection of Hymns

      6-8s.
      1 SAVIOUR, we now rejoice in hope,
      That thou at last wilt take us up;
      With daily triumph we proclaim,
      And bless and magnify thy name;
      And wait thy greatness to adore
      When time and death shall be no more.

      2 Till then with us vouchsafe to stay,
      And keep us pure from sin to-day;
      Thy great confirming grace bestow,
      And guard us all our days below;
      And ever mightily defend,
      And save thy servants to the end.

      3 Still let us, Lord, by thee be blest,
      Who in thy guardian mercy rest:
      Extend thy mercy's arms to me,
      The weakest soul that trusts in thee;
      And never let me lose thy love,
      Till I, even I, am crowned above.
