With ecstasy of joy

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #115 (1814) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 With ecstasy of joy Extol his glorious name, Who rear'd the spacious earth, And rais'd our mortal frame. He built the church, Who spread the sky: Shout and exalt His honours high. 2 See the foundation laid By pow'r and love divine; Jesus, his first-born Son, How bright his glories shine! Low he descends, In dust he lies, That from his tomb A church might rise. 3 But he for ever lives, Nor for himself alone; Each saint new life derives From him, the living stone. His influence spreads Through ev'ry soul, And in one house Unites the whole. 4 To him with joy we move; In him cemented stand; The living temple grows, And owns the founder's hand. That structure, Lord, Still higher raise, Louder to sound Its builder's praise Topics: Office and Mediation of Christ Languages: English
