1 Attend, my ear; my heart rejoice
While Jesus from his throne,
Before the bright angelic hosts,
Makes his last sentence known.

2 When sinners, curs'd from his face,
To raging flames are driven;
His voice' with melody divine'
Thus calls his saints to heaven.

3 "Bless'd of my father, all draw near,
"Receive the great reward;
"And rise' with rapture to possess
"The kingdom love prepar'd.

4 "Ere earth's foundations first were laid,
"His sovereign purpose wrought,
"And rear'd those palaces divine,
"To which you now are brought.

5 "There shall you reign unnumber'd years,
"Protected by my power;
"While sin and death, and pains and cares,
"Shall vex your souls no more."

6 Come, dear majestic savior, come,
This Jubilee proclaim;
To teach us language fit to praise
So great, so dear a name.
