Around the Savior’s Lofty Throne

lyricist: Thomas Kelly, 1806
Composer: Heinrich Zeuner, 1832

Around the Sav­ior’s lof­ty throne

Ten thou­sand times ten thou­sand sing;

They wor­ship Him as God alone

And crown Him—ev­er­last­ing king.

Approach

ye saints! this God is yours;

’Tis Je­sus fills the throne above:

Ye can­not want while God en­dures;

Ye can­not fail while God is love.

Jesus

Thou ev­er­last­ing king!

To Thee the praise of Heav’n be­longs;

Yet

smile on us who fain would bring

The trib­ute of our hum­ble songs.

Though sin de­file our wor­ship here

We hope ere long Thy face to view;

And when our souls in Heav’n ap­pear

We’ll praise Thy name as an­gels do.
