Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #76 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Ye saints, proclaim abroad Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad
The honors of your king;
To Jesus your incarnate God,
Your songs of praises sing.
2 Not angels round the throne
Of majesty above,
Are half so much oblig'd as we,
To our Immanuel's love.
3 They never sunk so low,
They are not rais'd so high:
They never knew such depths of wo,
Such heights of majesty.
4 The Savior did not join
Their nature to His own:
For them he shed no blood divine,
Nor breathed a single groan.
5 May we with angels vie,
The Savior to adore;
Our debts are greater far than theirs,
O be our praises more! Topics: Christ His Mission and Works; Advent and the Birth of Christ Scripture: Hebrews 2:16 Languages: English
