Now Let Our Cheerful Eyes Survey

 

VERSE 1

Now let our cheerful eyes survey

Our great High Priest above,

And celebrate His constant care,

And sympathetic love.

 

VERSE 2

Though raised to a superior throne,

Where angels bow around,

And high o’er all the shining train,

With matchless honors crowned—

 

VERSE 3

The names of all His saints He bears

Engraven on His heart;

Nor shall a name once treasured there

E’er from His care depart.

 

VERSE 4

Those characters shall fair abide

Our everlasting trust,

When gems, and monuments, and crowns,

Are moldered down to dust.

 

VERSE 5

So, gracious Savior! on my breast,

May Thy dear Name be worn,

A sacred ornament and guard,

To endless ages borne.
