Jesus is lifted up on high,
Whom man refused and doomed to die,
He is become the corner-stone;
Head of the church he lives and reigns,
His kingdom over all maintains,
High on his everlasting throne.
The Lord the amazing work hath wrought,
Hath from the dead our Shepherd brought,
Revived on the third glorious day:
This is the day our God hath made,
The day for sinners to be glad
In him who bears their sins away.
Thee, Lord, with joyful lips we praise,
O send us now thy saving grace,
Make this the acceptable hour:
Our hearts would now receive thee in;
Enter, and make an end of sin,
And bless us with the perfect power.
Bless us, that we may call thee blest,
Sent down from heaven to give us rest,
Thy gracious Father to proclaim
His sinless nature to impart,
In every new, believing heart
To manifest his glorious name.
God is the Lord that shows us light,
Then let us render him his right,
The offerings of a thankful mind;
Present our living sacrifice,
And to his cross in closest ties
With cords of love our Spirit bind.
Thou art my God, and thee I praise,
Thou art my God, I sing thy grace.
And call mankind to extol thy name:
All glory to our gracious Lord!
His name be praised, his love adored,
Through all eternity the same!
