8779. Our Eyes Salvation See

1 Our eyes salvation see,
Prepared by grace divine;
How wide its splendors are diffused!
How bright its glories shine!

2 Through distant heathen lands
It darts a vivid ray,
And to the realms, where Satan reigned,
Imparts celestial day.

3 The Israel of the Lord
In Christ their glory boast,
And on the honors of His name
Their whole salvation trust.

4 By Him shall millions rise
To an immortal crown,
And millions, that His grace despise,
Shall sink in ruin down.

5 Our reckoning is begun,
And on th’account will go,
Till closed in everlasting joy,
Or never ending woe.
