HYMN VIII. (Book 8)

MY Soul, let all thy noblest Powers,* 1.1 And Faculties combine: Awake my Tongue; and to my Thoughts* 1.2 Thy tuneful Numbers join.

All that's within me, bless and praise* 1.3 My Saviour and my King: When He's the Subject of the Song,* 1.4 Who can forbear to sing?

Holy and Reverend is his Name;* 1.5 How glorious, and how sweet! All Greatness, and all Goodness too I' th' Name of JESUS meet.

A Name vile Men shall one day dread,* 1.6 As now the Devils fear:* 1.7 A Name the Heavenly Hosts adore,* 1.8 To pardon'd Sinners dear;* 1.9

Most dear to them by strongest Ties* 1.10 Of his Redeeming Love, Which by a thousand Torments try'd, Did always constant prove.

Not Death with all its poison'd Darts Could balk his Enterprize; This spotless Lamb resolv'd to fall* 1.11 A willing Sacrifice.

* 1.12So conquering Sin, and Death, and Hell, In Glory did arise, * 1.13And in bright Triumph did ascend His Throne above the Skies.

* 1.14Thence in due time he will return, * 1.15With a Celestial Train Of Saints and Angels, and among Those shining Legions reign.
