The Worship of Heaven

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DLXXXVII (1792) First Line: O for a sweet inspiring ray Lyrics: 1 O for a sweet inspiring ray, To animate our feeble strains, From the bright realms of endless day, The blissful realms, where Jesus reigns! 2 There, low before his glorious throne, Adoring saints and angels fall; And with delightful worship own His smile, their bliss, their heaven, their all. 3 Immortal glories crown his head, While tuneful hallelujahs rise, And love, and joy, and triumph spread Thro' all th' assemblies of the skies. 4 He smiles, and seraphs tune their songs To boundless rapture while they gaze; Ten thousand thousand joyful tongues Resound his everlasting praise. 5 There all the fovorites of the lamb Shall join at last the heavenly choir; O may the joy inspiring theme Awake our faith and warm desire! 6 Dear Savior, let thy spirit seal Our interest in that blissful place; 'Till death remove this mortal veil, And we behold thy lovely face.
