From glory unto glory! What great things he hath done, The lives for which our Lord hath laid his own so freely down! 3 The fullness of his blessing encompasseth our way; The fullness of his promises crowns every brightening day; The fullness of his glory is beaming from above, While more and more we learn to know the fullness of his love. 4 And closer yet and closer the golden bonds shall be, Uniting all who love our Lord in pure sincerity; And wider yet and wider shall the circling glory glow, As more and more are taught of God that mighty love to know.

O let our adoration for all that he hath done, Peal out beyond the stars of God, while voice and life are one; And let our consecration be real, deep, and true, O even now our hearts shall bow, and joyful vows renew. 6 Now onward, ever onward, from strength to strength we go, Until his very presence crown our happiest New Year. |
