Full Lyrics
COME Angels! seize your harps of gold,
The song of love to man unfold;
Assist our joys, exalt your praise,
Another sinner sav'd by grace.
Glory, glory, let us sing,
While heav'n and earth with glory ring,
Hosanna to the Lamb of God.
A leper wash'd from ev'ry stain,
Requires a higher, louder strain;
The Spirit's stamp'd and seal'd within,
The blood of Christ hath cleans'd from sin:
Satan feels his pow'r is gone,
He falls like light'ning from his throne,
Hosanna to the Lamb of God.
Come, let us sing, and pray and praise,
For soon this waring strife shall cease;
When lost in loveo'erwhelm'd with God,
With Christ we take our blest abode.
Hark! the trumpet speaks him nigh,
Hark! hark! he comes! while myriads cry,
Hosanna to the Lamb of God.
We little flock, by all contemn'd,
O'erlook'd, unknown, despis'd, condemn'd;
With names traduc'd, and lives abhorr'd,
We suffer with our murder'd Lord:
If the flames ascend the higher,
We'll burn triumphant in the fire,
Hosanna to the Lamb of God.
