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 threw their empire

And pour'd His sacred blood

To set the guilty captives free.

But soon the victor rose,

Triumphant o'er His foes,

And led the vanquish'd host in chains

He threw their empire down,

His foes compell'd 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

And all His great salvation prove.

Hail, Salvation, 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!
