HYMN XXXVIII. THE SAME.
[Rise, ye dearly purchased sinners]
Rise, ye dearly purchased sinners,
Fill'd with faith's assurance rise,
Through the loss of Jesus winners,
Lords of all in earth and skies,
Sing, and triumph
In His bleeding sacrifice.
To His meritorious passion
All our happiness we owe,
Pardon, holiness, salvation,
Heaven above and heaven below;
Grace and glory
From that open Fountain flow.
Blest in our returning Saviour,
When He hath prepared our place
We shall reign with Him for ever,
Folded in His love's embrace:
Come, Redeemer,
Show us all Thy heavenly face!
Now reveal Thy full salvation,
Let Thy brightest lightnings shine,
In the thundering acclamation
While both saints and angels join;
Sounds the trumpet,
Flames unfurl the crimson sign!
With Thine army of cross-bearers
Lo! we wait, we long to rise,
In Thy royal triumph sharers,
In Thy joy beyond the skies:
Come the kingdom,
Saviour bring the' immortal prize!
Answer Thy own bride and Spirit,
Hasten, Lord, the general doom,
The new heaven and earth to' inherit,
Take Thy pining exiles home;
All creation
Travails, groans, and bids Thee come!
