Once reigning in the highest In light and majesty, Dishonored now Thou diest, Yet here I worship Thee. 2 How art Thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How does that visage languish, Which once was bright as morn! What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, Was all for sinners' gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. 3 Lo, here I fall, my Saviour, 'Tis I deserve Thy place: Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. Receive me, my Redeemer; My Shepherd, make me Thine, Of every good the Fountain, Thou art the Spring of mine! 4 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end! Oh, make me Thine forever, And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. 5 Forbid that I should leave Thee; O Jesus, leave not me; In faith may I receive Thee, When death shall set me free. When strength and comfort languish, And I must hence depart, Release me then from anguish By thine own wounded heart. Amen.

The truth of His gospel Shall ever endure. Lo! unto all peoples His message shall speed, Proclaiming 'mid turmoil The Lord's mighty deed, Proclaiming the Saviour Who died for all men, And, having arisen, Now liveth again, Firstfruits of the sleeping. Hallelujah. 5 Then weep not, ye faithful, Yield not to despair: The night soon is over, The day shall appear. Though earth shall embrace you When death lays you low, The seed of His sowing To harvests will grow; And soon shall the Sower Return to His field With angels to gather Its heavenly yield, From evil tares severed.
