When he had purged our stains, Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice, 3 His kingdom cannot fail; He rules o'er earth and Heaven: The keys of death and hell Are to our Jesus given: Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice, 4 He sits at God's right hand, And fall beneath his feet: Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice, 5 He all his foes shall quell, With pure seraphic joy: Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice, 6 Rejoice in glorious hope, And take his servants up To their eternal home: We soon shall hear the archangel's voice, The trump of God shall sound, Rejoice! HYMN 267. 7s. HARK! the song of Jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fulness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore: Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent, shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word Echo round the earth and main. Sheathed his sword: he speaks: 'tis done; And the kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of his Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole He shall reign, when like a scroll, Man's last enemy shall fall; HYMN 268. 7s. HERALDS of creation cry, Praise the Lord, the Lord most high : 2 For he spake, and forth from night Sun and moon, your voices raise, 5 Vales and mountains, burst in song; HYMN 269. C. M. SING we the song of those who stand Of every kindred, clime, and land, 2 Life's poor distinctions vanish here; 4 Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain, Blessing and honor to obtain, And everlasting love. 5 Worthy the Lamb, on earth we sing, Who died our souls to save, Henceforth, O death! where is thy sting? Thy victory, O grave? 6 Then hallelujah! power and praise May all who now this anthem raise, HYMN 270. S. M. STAND up and bless the Lord, Ye people of his choice: Stand up, and bless the Lord your God, With heart, and soul, and voice. 2 Though high above all praise, Who would not fear his holy name 30 for the living flame From his own altar brought, 5 God is our strength and song, 6 Stand up, and bless the Lord, HYMN 271. S. M. [98] COME ye that love the Lord, Who never knew our God; 2 The God that rules on high, And calms the roaring seas; This awful God is ours, Our Father and our Love; He will send down his heavenly powers, To carry us above. 3 There we shall see his face, There, from the rivers of his grace, To that immortal state; The thoughts of such amazing bliss, 4 The men of grace have found Celestial fruit on earthly ground, And every tear be dry; We're marching through Immanuel's ground, To fairer worlds on high. HYMN 272. C. M. [99] HAPPY the souls to Jesus join'd, 3 Thee, in thy glorious realm they praise, 4 The holy to the holiest leads, From thence our spirits rise; And he that in thy statutes treads, Shall meet thee in the skies. |
