Lift your hearts in adoration

Representative Text

1 Lift your hearts in adoration,
Joyful news to you I bring;
Unto man is born a Saviour,
Let the earth receive her King.
Open wide the yielding portal
Of your hearts, ye happy few,
Welcome in the joys immortal
He will freely give to you.

2 Ye who now in sorrow languish,
Of each earthly hope bereft,
Ye whose lot is pain and anguish,
List! for you His throne He left,
Ye who bound in sin's hard fetters,
Sigh in vain for liberty,
He will read them all asunder,
He will make his people free.

3 Ye whose souls are ever striving
With the pow'rs of death and sin,
Watching for the world's redemption,
Look! believe! 'tis found in Him.
Praise His name, the great Immanuel,
"Wonderful," and "Counsellor;"
Praise his name, the "Everlasting,"
Saviour, God and Comforter.
