My Heart and Voice I Raise

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.

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 cap­tive free.

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.

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.

Hail

Sav­ior

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!
