| 171 | S. M. WATSON | C.M. |
| 1 |
Blest Son of God, we worship Thee; Thou lovest to draw near To hearts that wait for Thee alone And feel Thine absence here. | |
| 2 |
Thou camest in of old and all The heav'nly hosts were stirred, And now amidst Thine own Thy praise Unceasingly is heard. | |
| 3 |
Thou hast a glory far beyond The creature's power to tell, Yet pleased to come, as lowly Man, 'Mid human hearts to dwell. | |
| 4 |
Thou hast come in on God's behalf To crown His wondrous ways, Firstborn of all to lead the throng In His eternal praise. | |
| 5 |
We praise and worship as we see Thy glory spread abroad, And love that, giving all, secures The universe for God. | |
