How Are Thy Glories Here Displayed!

How are Thy glo­ries here dis­played!

Great God

how bright they shine

While at Thy word we break the bread

And pour the flow­ing wine.

Here Thy re­veng­ing jus­tice stands

And pleads its dread­ful cause;

Here sav­ing mer­cy spreads her hands

Like Je­sus on the cross.

Thy saints at­tend with eve­ry grace

On this great sac­ri­fice;

And love app­ears with cheer­ful face

And faith with fix­èd eyes.

Our hope in wait­ing pos­ture sits

To Heav’n di­rects her sight;

Here ev­ery warm­er pas­sion meets

And warm­er pow­ers unite.

Zeal and re­venge per­form their part

And ris­ing sin de­stroy;

Repentance comes with ach­ing heart

Yet not for­bids the joy.

Dear Sav­ior

change our faith to sight;

Let sin for ev­er die;

Then shall our souls be all de­light

And ev­ery tear be dry.
