By A Collection of Hymns

      6 6 8, 6 6 8.
      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 6 8, 6 6 8. 2nd. part.

      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!
