Jesus, Jesus, Holy holy, yet most lowly, Draw Thou near us, Great Immanuel, come and hear us. 2 Rejoice ye heav'ns; thou earth reply; With praise, ye sinners, fill the sky, For this His incarnation. Incarnate God, put forth Thy power, Ride on, ride on, great conqueror, Till all know Thy salvation. Amen, Amen, Hallelujah, hallelujah, Praise be given Evermore by earth and heaven.

Lovely Lilly, O Hosanna, Heav'nly Manna, Thy sweet Favour Be mine everlasting Savour. III. Thy Love, so pow'rful and divine, Dart deep into this Heart of mine, Thou brilliant Stone and Jewel! Confirm me more and more to be A Branch of Thee, the living Tree, That Self may lose its Fewel. Sighing, Dying Is thy Creature; for in Nature Is no Pleasure Without Thee, my King and Treasure. IV. From God descends a Glance of Joy.

O! this Bliss is Of his giving, who's the Living Bread and Manna; Ever will I sing HOSANNA. VI. Tune all your Strings of Lute and Harp, Resolve the Notes of Flat and Sharp Into Celestial Concords, That Nothing may disturb my Frame, Which is wrapt up in JESUS' Name, The sweetest of all Comforts. Ringing, Singing, In your Praises, let the Phrases Of your Duty Please the Lord of Bliss and Beauty. VII. My Joy to all the World be known, That my Beloved keeps his Throne, On Hills of Light and Glory. He'll kindly bring me to that Place, Where all the Wonders of his Grace Shall lie disclos'd before me. Amen! Amen! Lord my Sov'reign! come and govern All the Nations; Come! I wait with great Impatience. Topics: Spiritual Marriage Used With Tune: [How bright appears the Morning-Star]

Thou David's Son of Jacob's race, My Bridegroom and my King of Grace, For Thee my heart is pining. Lowly, Holy, Great and glorious, Thou victorious Prince of graces, Filling all the heav'nly places. 2 O highest joy by mortals won, True Son of God and Mary's Son, Thou high-born King of ages! Thou art my heart's most beauteous Flow'r, And Thy blest Gospel's saving pow'r My raptured soul engages. Thou mine, I Thine; Sing hosanna! Heav'nly manna Tasting, eating, Whilst Thy love in songs repeating. 3 Now richly to my waiting heart, O Thou, my God, deign to impart The grace of love undying. In Thy blest body let me be, E'en as the branch is in the tree, Thy life my life supplying. Sighing, Crying. For the savor Of Thy favor; Resting never, Till I rest in Thee forever. 4 A pledge of peace from God I see When Thy pure eyes are turned to me To show me Thy good pleasure. Jesus, Thy Spirit and Thy Word, Thy body and Thy blood, afford My soul its dearest treasure. Keep me Kindly In Thy favor, O my Savior! Thou wilt cheer me; Thy Word calls me to draw near Thee. 5 Thou, mighty Father, in Thy Son Didst love me ere Thou hadst begun This ancient world's foundation. Thy Son hath made a friend of me, And when in spirit Him I see, I joy in tribulation. What bliss Is this! He that liveth To me giveth Life forever; Nothing me from Him can sever. 6 Lift up the voice and strike the string. Let all glad sounds of music ring In God's high praises blended. Christ will be with me all the way, Today, tomorrow, every day, Till trav'ling days be ended. Sing out, Ring out Triumph glorious, O victorious, Chosen nation; Praise the God of your salvation. 7 Oh, joy to know that Thou, my Friend, Art Lord, Beginning without end, The First and Last, Eternal! And Thou at length--O glorious grace!-- Wilt take me to that holy place, The home of joys supernal. Amen, Amen! Come and meet me! Quickly greet me! With deep yearning, Lord, I look for Thy returning.
