A THIRD HYMN FOR THE KIRK.
Up, sluggard soul! awake, and raise
To thy blest Lord a song of praise,
Who lifts thee from the gloomy grave,
When low on earth thou liest,—
To Him who lived and died to save,
Hosanna in the highest!
To thy blest Lord a song of praise,
Who lifts thee from the gloomy grave,
When low on earth thou liest,—
To Him who lived and died to save,
Hosanna in the highest!
To Him, thy friend of friends, whose love
Invites thee to a home above,
When thou, the world's poor outcast slave,
In grief and anguish criest,—
To Him who lived and died to save,
Hosanna in the highest!
Invites thee to a home above,
When thou, the world's poor outcast slave,
In grief and anguish criest,—
To Him who lived and died to save,
Hosanna in the highest!
His love a living stream hath found
For pilgrims faint, on barren ground,
Their parch'd and languid souls to lave,
When earthly streams are dryest,—
To Him who lived and died to save,
Hosanna in the highest!
For pilgrims faint, on barren ground,
Their parch'd and languid souls to lave,
When earthly streams are dryest,—
To Him who lived and died to save,
Hosanna in the highest!
