Honor and happiness unite br To make the Christian's name a praise; br How fair the scene, how clear the light, br That fills the remnant of His days! br br A kingly character He bears, br No change His priestly office knows; br Unfading is the crown He wears, br His joys can never reach a close. br br Adorn'd with glory from on high, br Salvation shines upon His face; br His robe is of the ethereal dye, br His steps are dignity and grace. br br Inferior honors He disdains, br Nor stoops to take applause from earth; br The King of kings Himself maintains br The expenses of His heavenly birth. br br The noblest creature seen below, br Ordain'd to fill a throne above; br God gives him all He can bestow, br His kingdom of eternal love! br br My soul is ravished at the thought! br Methinks from earth I see Him rise! br Angels congratulate His lot, br And shout Him welcome to the skies.
