Sweet the time, exceeding sweet!
1
Sweet the time, exceeding sweet!When the saints together meet,When the Saviour is the theme,When they join to sing of him.
2
Sing we then eternal love,Such as did the Father move:He beheld the world undone,Loved the world and gave his Son.
3
Sing the Son's amazing love;How he left the realms above,Took our nature and our place,Lived and died to save our race.
4
Sing we, too, the Spirit's love;With our stubborn hearts he strove,Filled our minds with grief and fear,Brought the precious Saviour near.
5
Sweet the time, exceeding sweet,When the saints in heaven shall meet;Jesus still will be the theme,They shall always sing of him.
