Verse 1

MY heart and voice I raise, To spread Messiah’s praise; Messiah’s praise let all repeat; The universal Lord, By whose almighty word Creation rose in form complete.

Verse 2

A servant’s form He wore, And in His body bore Our dreadful curse on Calvary: He like a victim stood, And poured His sacred blood, To set the guilty captives free.

Verse 3

But soon the Victor rose Triumphant o’er His foes, And led the vanquished host in chains: He threw their empire down, His foes compelled to own O’er all the great Messiah reigns

Verse 4

With mercy’s mildest grace, He governs all our race In wisdom, righteousness, and love: Who to Messiah fly Shall find redemption nigh, And all His great salvation prove.

Verse 5

Hail, Saviour, Prince of peace! Thy kingdom shall increase, Till all the world Thy glory see, And righteousness abound As the great deep profound, And fill the earth with purity.
