LyicsRise, tune thy voice to sacred song,
Exert thy noblest powers;
Rise, mingle with the choral throng,
The Saviour's praises to prolong,
Amid life's fleeting hours.
O! hast thou felt the Saviour's love,
That flame of heavenly birth?
Then let thy strains melodious prove,
With raptures soaring far above
The trifling toys of earth.
Hast found the pearl of price unknown
That cost a Saviour's blood?
Heir of a bright celestial crown,
That sparkles near the eternal throne;
O sing the praise of God!
Sing of the Lamb that once was slain
That man might be forgiven;
Sing how he broke death's bars in twain
Ascending high in bliss to reign,
The God of earth and heaven.
