Ye saints, proclaim abroad

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #114 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christ advent of Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad The honors of your King To Jesus, your incarnate God, Your songs of praises sing. 2 Not angels round the throne Of majesty above, Are half so much obliged as we, To our Immanuel's love. 3 They never sunk so low, They are not raised so high; They never knew such depths of woe, Such heights of majesty. 4 The Saviour did not join Their nature to His own; For them He shed no blood divine, Nor breath'd a single groan. 5 May we with angels vie The Saviour to adore; Our debts are greater far than theirs, Oh, be our praises more!
