Rise, tune thy voice to sacred song,

Exert thy noblest powers;

Rise, mingle with the choral throng,

The Saviour’s praises to prolong,

Amid life’s fleeting hours.

2 O! hast thou felt the Saviour’s love,

That flame of heavenly birth!

Then let thy strains melodious prove,

With raptures soaring far above

The trifling toys of earth.

3 Hast found the pearl of price unknown

That cost a Saviour’s blood?

Heir of a bright celestial crown,

That sparkles near the eternal throne;

O sing the praise of God!

4 Sing of the Lamb that once was slain

That man might be forgiven;

Sing how he broke death’s bars in twain,

Ascending high in bliss to reign,

The God of earth and heaven.
