Behold With Pleasing Ecstasy

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold with pleasing ecstasy The Gospel standard lifted high, That all the nations from afar May in the great salvation share. 2 Why then, almighty Savior, why Do wretched souls in millions die? While wide th’infernal tyrant reigns O’er spacious realms in ponderous chains? 3 And shall he still go on to boast Thy cross its energy hath lost? And shall Thy servants still complain Their labors, and their tears are vain? 4 Awake, all conquering arm, awake, And hell’s extensive empire shake; Assert the honors of Thy throne, And call this ruined world Thine own. 5 Thine all successful power display; Produce a nation in a day; For at Thy word this barren earth Shall travail with a general birth. 6 Swift let Thy quickening Spirit breathe On these abodes of sin and death; That breath shall bow ten thousand minds, Like waving corn before the winds. 7 Scarce can our glowing hearts endure A world, where Thou art known more; Transform it, Lord, by conquering love, Or bear us to the realms above.
