HYMN 84. (S. M.) The same.
[Come, all harmonious tongues]
I
Come, all harmonious tongues,Your noblest music bring,
'Tis Christ the everlasting God,
And Christ the man we sing.
II
Tell how he took our fleshTo take away our guilt,
Sing the dear drops of sacred blood
That hellish monsters spilt.
III
Alas! the cruel spearWent deep into his side,
And the rich flood of purple gore
Their murderous weapons dy'd.
IV
The waves of swelling griefDid o'er his bosom roll,
And mountains of almighty wrath
Lay heavy on his soul.
V
Down to the shades of deathHe bow'd his awful head,
Yet he arose to live and reign
When death itself is dead.
VI
No more the bloody spear,The cross and nails no more;
For hell itself shakes at his name,
And all the heavens adore.
VII
There the Redeemer sitsHigh on the Father's throne;
The Father lays his vengeance by,
And smiles upon his Son.
VIII
There his full glories shineWith uncreated rays,
And bless his saints and angels eyes
To everlasting days.
