516 ~ Sweet the Time
1
Sweet the time, exceeding sweet! When the saints together meet, When the Saviour is the theme, When they join 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 time, exceeding sweet, When the saints in heaven shall meet; Jesus still will be the theme, They shall always sing of Him.
