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.

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.

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.
