My heart and voice I raise

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.

       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.

       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.

       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.

       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!

       6.     Jerusalem divine,
              When shall I call thee mine?
              And to thy holy hill attain,
              Where weary pilgrims rest,
              And in thy glories blest,
              With God Messiah ever reign?

       7.     There saints and angels join
              In fellowship divine,
              And rapture swells the solemn lay:
              While all with one accord
              Adore their glorious Lord,
              And shout his praise in endless day.

       8.     May I but find the grace
              To fill an humble place
              In that inheritance above;
              My tuneful voice I'll raise
              In songs of loudest praise,
              To spread thy fame, Redeeming Love!

       9.     Reign, true Messiah, reign!
              Thy kingdom shall remain
              When stars and sun no more shall shine;
              Mysterious Deity,
              Who ne'er began to be,
              To sound thy endless praise be mine!
