Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #114 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad
The honors of your King
To Jesus, your incarnate God,
Your songs of praises sing.
2 Not angels round the throne
Of majesty above,
Are half so much obliged as we,
To our Immanuel's love.
3 They never sunk so low,
They are not raised so high;
They never knew such depths of woe,
Such heights of majesty.
4 The Saviour did not join
Their nature to His own;
For them He shed no blood divine,
Nor breath'd a single groan.
5 May we with angels vie
The Saviour to adore;
Our debts are greater far than theirs,
Oh, be our praises more! Topics: Christ advent of; Christ Mediator; Christ Redeemer of mankind; Christ Praise to; God Redeemer; Goodness of God in the mission of Christ; Grace in praise of; Love Of Christ; Mediatorship of Christ; Redeemer Languages: English
