179. Brightness of the eternal glory

1.

Brightness of th’eternal glory

Shall Thy praise unuttered lie ?

Who would hush the heav’nsent story

Of the Lamb who came to die ?

2.

Came from Godhead's fullest glory

Down to Calv’ry's depth of woe ;

Now on high, we bow before Thee ;

Streams of praises ceaseless flow !

3.

Sing His blest triumphant rising;

Sing Him on the Father's throne ;

Sing — till heav’n and earth surprising,

Reigns the Nazarene alone.
