13. Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee!

1 Now let every tongue adore thee!
Let men with angels sing before thee!
Let harps and cymbals now unite!

Refrain:
No mortal eye hath seen.
No mortal ear hath heard
Such wondrous things,
Therefore with joy our song shall soar
In praise to God forevermore.

2 All thy gates with pearl are glorious,
Where we partake through faith victorious,
With angels round thy throne of light. [Refrain]
