On earth the song begins, In heav'n more sweet and loud: To Him who cleansed our sins By His atoning blood, To Him, we sing in joyful strain, Be honour, power and praise, Amen. | |

Alone He bore the cross, Alone its grief sustained; His was the shame and loss, And He the vict'ry gained; The might work was all His own, Though we shall share His glorious throne. | |
