23. 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 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!
