The Song of the Lamb.

1. [The first Part.]

1

Break out ye Saints with joy and sing,
to the Eternal King;
The Angels do blest Tidings bring,
Hosannah in the highest.

2

In Bethlehem the Babe is born,
cease, cease, your bitter Mourn,
Your Sorrow now to Singing turn,
Hosannah in the highest.

3

He's come, he's come, O happy Day!
dark Shadows fly away,
The Substance's come to Christ I say,
Hosannah in the highest.

4

See how the Cherubs clap their Wings,
the Glor'us Host now sings;
Th'Eternal Day, see how it springs!
Hosannah in the highest.

5

Behold the Lord Baptiz'd by John,
and what a Glory shone!
The Father says, This is my Son!
Hosannah in the highest.

6

He's come, he's come-down from above,
full of Eternal Love;
And also sealed by the Dove,
Hosannah in the highest.

7

The Dumb do speak, the Blind do see,
the Dead they raised be;

13

And Lepers cleans'd of Leprosie,
Hosannah in the highest.

8

He Preaches with Authority,
God's Kingdom doth draw nigh,
And pardons all Iniquity,
Hosannah in the highest.

9

Behold him now beset with Grief,
Angels bring him Relief,
They him adore because he's chief,
Hosannah in the highest.

10

Behold him in his Agony,
our sins on him did ly,
God's Justice he did satisfie,
Hosannah in the highest.

11

Behold him now upon the Tree;
he cry'd in Miserie,
Oh! Why hast thou forsaken me?
Hosannah in the highest.

12

Ah! hear him make most bitter Moan,
hearken to his last Groan;
For now for us his Life is gone,
Hosannah in the highest.

2. The second Part.

1

The first day now it doth begin;
an end is put to Sin,
Eternal Righteousness brought in
Hosannah in the highest.

14

2

The Grave did ope thou didst arise,
ye Saints lift up your Eyes,
The Morning's come, all Darkness flies,
Hosannah in the highest.

3

Infernal Spirits cry and howl,
their overthrow condole,
For ever now their hopes are cool,
Hosannah in the highest.

5

Now, Sin, Death, Devils and the Grave,
and th'World which did inslave,
Are all all o'ercome, and their Death have,
Hosannah in the highest.

6

Behold how his sweet Arms were spread,
whilst his dear Blood was shed,
That Sinners might be gathered,
Hosannah in the highest.

7

Our sins upon thee, Lord, were laid,
and all our Debts hast paid;
Of Hell we need not be afraid,
Hosannah in the highest.

8

God's dreadful Wrath thou didst appease,
guilty Conscience to ease,
And now canst save whom thou dost please,
Hosannah in the highest.

3. The third Part.

1

Christ will begin that Work, which he
knows must be wrought, if we

15

Eternal Joys do ever see,
Hosannah in the highest.

2

Lord thou wilt perfect it also,
for very well we know,
Without thee we can nothing do,
Hosannah in the highest.

3

We that Polluted once did ly
in Filth and Misery,
Thou by thy Blood dost purifie,
Hosannah in the highest.

4

We once were Cursed by God's Law,
dreading Death, no help saw,
From that sad state thou dost us draw,
Hosannah in the highest.

5

All kind of Sin thou dost pass by,
where there's Sincerity,
When unto thee, by Faith, we fly,
Hosannah in the highest.

6

From Death to Life, Saints raised be,
once bound, but now set free,
And made one Spirit, O Lord, with thee,
Hosannah in the Highest.

4. The fourth Part.

1

O happy Union! (is it done?)
with the Father and Son,
Are we United and made One?
Hosannah in the highest.

16

2

Adoption is a precious thing,
made Sons of th'Mighty King,
Most precious Joy from hence doth spring,
Hosannah in the highest.

3

Communion, Lord, also with Thee;
nay, with th'whole Trinity,
What higher Blessings can there be?
Hosannah in the highest.

4

We at thy Table sit and Feed,
and have what our Souls need,
And find thy Blood, Lord, Drink indeed,
Hosannah in the highest.

5

Thou Supst with us, and we with thee,
a joyful sight to see;
Sweet is the Food and Company,
Hosannah in the highest.

6

Thou sayest, Thy Beloved's mine?
ourselves, Lord, we resign
Up unto thee; for to be Thine;
Hosannah in the highest.

5. The fifth Part.

1

Thy Righteousness, O Lord, Divine,
imputed is to thine,
By which they do most spotless shine;
Hosannah in the highest.

2

Thou art the WAY to God to go,
th'TRUTH by which we him know,

17

The LIFE which does to thy Saints flow,
Hosannah in the highest.

3

By thee we Justified be,
and from Sin are set free,
And God accepts us all in Thee,
Hosannah in the highest.

4

Thou art our Prophet, Priest, and King,
a Prophet that does bring
Such Light from whence true joys do spring,
Hosannah in the highest.

5

A Priest that stands 'twixt God and Men,
who hast Atton'd for sin.
And hast' us brought to God agen,
Hosannah in the highest.

5

A King that rules o'er all above,
and all that here do move;
He's King of kings, yet full of Love,
Hosannah in the highest.

6. The sixth Part.

1

Christ is our Meat, our Drink, our Health,
our Peace, our Strength, Glory Wealth,
All things besides thee are but Pelf,
Hosannah in the highest.

2

Our Mediator Surety.
and Advocate on high,
Thro' thee, God passes all sin by;
Hosannah in the highest.

18

3

Our Righteousness and Wisdom too,
Redemption, from all Woe,
Sanctification from thee does flow,
Hosannah in the highest.

4

What shall I say? or Jesus call?
for he is All in All,
And Reign he shall o'er Great and Small,
Hosannah in the highest.

5

He hath Redeem'd us by his Blood,
when in our room he stood;
And made us Priests, and Kings, to God,
Hosannah in the highest.

6

And we on Earth with him shall reign
(when all his Foes are slain)
For quickly now he'll come again,
Hosannah in the highest.
