LyicsCOME, every pious heart
That loves the Saviour's name,
Your noblest pow'rs exert
To celebrate his fame:
Tell all above, and all below,
The debt of love to him you owe.
Such was his zeal for God,
And such his love for you,
He nobly undertook
What Angels could not do:
His every deed of love and grace
All words exceed, and thought surpass.
He left his starry crown,
And laid his robes aside;
On wings of love came down,
And wept, and bled, and died;
What he endur'd, O who can tell,
To save our souls from death and hell!
From the dark grave he rose,
The mansion of the dead;
And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led:
Up through the sky the Conq'ror rode,
And reigns on high, the Son of God.
From thence he'll quickly come,
His chariot will not stay,
And bear our spirits home,
To realms of endless day:
There shall we see his lovely face,
And ever be in his embrace.
