1 Attend while God's exalted Son Doth his own glories shew; "Behold I sit upon my throne Creating all things new.
2 "Nature and sin are pass'd away, And the old Adam dies; "My hands a new foundation lay, "See the new world arise.
3 "I'll be a sun of righteousness "To the new-heavens I make; "None but the new-born heirs of grace "My glories shall partake."
4 Mighty Redeemer, set me free From my old state of sin; O make my soul alive to thee, Create new powers within.
5 Renew mine eyes, and form mine ears, And mould my heart afresh; Give me new passions, joys and fears, And turn the stone to flesh.
6 Far from the regions of the dead, From sin, and earth, and hell, In the new-world that grace has made I would for ever dwell.
