By A Collection of Hymns

      L.M. Canticles iii. 11.
      1 JESUS, thou everlasting King,
      Accept the tribute which we bring;
      Accept thy well-deserved renown,
      And wear our praises as thy crown.

      2 Let every act of worship be
      Like our espousals, Lord, to thee;
      Like the glad hour when from above
      We first received the pledge of love.

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

      4 Each following moment as it flies
      Increase thy praise, improve our joys,
      Till we are raised to sing thy name
      At the great supper of the Lamb.
