Attend, Mine Ear
Words:Philip Doddridge (1702-1751)
Music:Thomas Haweis, 1792.

Attend, mine ear, my heart rejoice;
While Jesus from His throne,
Begirt with all th'angelic hosts,
Makes His last sentence known.

When sinners cursèd from His face
To raging flames are driv'n,
His voice, with melody divine,
Thus calls His saints to Heav'n.

“Blest of My Father, all draw near,
Receive the large reward;
And rise with raptures to possess
The kingdom Love prepared.

“E'er earth's foundations first were laid,
This sovereign purpose wrought,
And reared those palaces divine,
To which you now are brought.

There shall you reign unnumbered years,
Protected by My power,
While sin and hell, and pains and cares
Shall vex your souls no more.

Come, dear majestic Savior, come,
This jubilee proclaim,
And teach us accents fit to praise
So great, so dear a name.
