Here the Redeemer's welcome voiceSpreads heavenly peace around;And life and everlasting joysAttend the blissful sound.

O may these heavenly pages beMy ever dear delight;And still new beauties may I see,And still increasing light.

Divine Instructor, gracious Lord,Be thou forever near;Teach me to love thy sacred word,And view my Saviour here.
