Text: | Now in holy convocation |
Author: | James Montgomery |
Now in holy convocation,
Hands, and hearts, and voices raise,
In one hymn of jubilation,
To our great Redeemer's praise;
"Ebenezer!"
He hath led us all our ways.
"Ebenezer!" Those before us,
Sang at every onward stage;
This to-day shall swell the chorus
In our house of pilgrimage:
May our children
Sing the same from age to age!
So in heaven, when all the story
Of His love to us is shown,
Be our earliest song in glory,
"Ebenezer!" round the Throne
While for ever,
We shall know as we are known.
