Sweet the time, exceeding sweet!
When the saints together meet,
When the Saviour is the theme,
When they joy to sing of him.
Sing we then eternal love,
Such as did the Father move:
He beheld the world undone,
Loved the world, and gave his Son.
Sing the Son's amazing love;
How he left the realms above,
Took our nature and our place,
Lived and died to save our race.
Sing we, too, the Spirit's love;
Wit our stubborn hearts he strove,
Filled our minds with grief and fear,
Brought the precious Saviour near.
Sweet the place, exceeding sweet,
Where the saints in glory meet;
Where the Saviour's still the theme,
Where they see and sing of him.
