Of sinners; queen of saints in heav'n that are!

Thy beauty round the eternal throne dost cast

A brightness that outshines its living rays:

There in the fulness of transcendent joy

Heaven's king and thou sit in bright majesty:

Would I were there, a welcom'd guest at last

Where angel tongues reecho praise to praise!

There Michael sings the blessed Saviour's name

Till round the eternal throne it rings once more,

And angels in their choirs with glad acclaim,
