My heart and voice I raise

Author: Benjamin Rhodes, 1743-1815 Meter: 6.6.8 D Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 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! Your kingdom shall increase till all the world your glory see, and righteousness abound as the great deep profound, and fill the earth with purity. Topics: Christ tne King Sunday; Jesus Christ Redeemer Scripture: Colossians 2:9-15 Used With Tune: ASCALON

O God of loveliness, O Lord of Heaven above, How worthy to possess my heart’s devoted love. So sweet Thy countenance, so gracious to behold That one, one only glance to me were bliss untold. 2. Thou art blest Three in One, yet undivided still, Thou art the One alone, whose love my heart can fill. The heav’ns and earth below were fashioned by Thy Word, How amiable art Thou, my ever dearest Lord. 3. To think Thou art my God—O thought forever blest! My heart has overflowed with joy within my breast. My soul so full of bliss, is plunged as in a sea, Deep in the sweet abyss of holy charity. 4. O Loveliness supreme, and Beauty infinite, O ever flowing Stream and Ocean of delight, O Life by which I live, my truest Life above, To Thee alone I give my undivided love.
