1 Sweet the time, exceeding sweet!
When the saints together meet,
When the Saviour is the theme,
When they joy 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 place, exceeding sweet,
Where the saints in glory meet;
Where the Saviour's still the theme,
Where they see and sing of Him.
