Heark¤en, Oh con¤sid¤er, in¤cline now thine ear,
Je¤ho¤vah is call¤ing, the King wait¤eth near
For¤get thine own peo¤ple, let earth’s joys grow dim,
For¤sake thine own pleas¤ure ¤and wor¤ship thou Him.

Wouldst thou to a place of high hon¤our as¤pire?
Turn with thy whole heart, all thy will and de¤sire
To Him who can make you all glo¤rious with¤in,
And clothe you in beau¤ty ¤and free¤dom from sin.

Then great¤ly de¤sir¤ing thy beau¤ty to see,
The King shall re¤joice when He look¤eth on thee,
Thy cloth¤ing wrought gold which shall nev¤er grow dim,
Thy light and thy glo¤ry ¤re¤flect¤ed in Him.

The pal¤ace is read¤y, the gar¤ments are fair,
There’s naught in cre¤a¤tion with thee can com¤pare,
Thou shalt be re¤mem¤bered when time is no more,
E¤ter¤nal thy glo¤ry ¤with Christ ev¤er¤more.
