Publish we our Father's praise, Saved by his unbounded grace, Christ he gave for all that breathe, Christ for all hath tasted death. Christ we praise our God above, He is pure unspotted love, Hateth nothing he hath made, Died in every sinner's stead. Let us the good Spirit bless, Him the gift of Christ confess, Listen to his general call, Yield, and he will save us all. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Thee with all the heavenly host, We poor ransom'd worms adore, Now, henceforth, and evermore. Father of earth and heaven, All glory be to thee, Who self-inclin'd hast freely given Thy Son to die for me: For me, and all that breathe, For all of Adam's race The second Adam tasted death, By thy all-pard'ning grace. We bless the saving name, Jesus, the sinner's peace, The Saviour of mankind proclaim, The Lord our righteousness, Whose gift is come to all: For all the Lamb hath died; The world may listen to his call, The world is justified. We glorify the Dove Who strives with every soul, 29This hymn omitted from 2nd edn. (1756) and following. 30This hymn omitted from 2nd edn. (1756) and following. Page 60 And witnesses, that God is love, When he hath made us whole; Witnesses with the blood That it for all did stream, That all thro' Christ may come to God, May all be saved thro' him. We magnify the grace, The universal love Of Father, Son, and Spirit praise With all the hosts above: Till Christ on earth appears, Angels, on you we call, Come praise with us, ye morning-stars, The Lamb that died for all. With us together sing, Your tongues, and harps employ, To sound the glories of our King; Ye angels shout for joy! For joy that God hath died That we might be forgiven, And find with all the sanctified Our names enroll'd in heaven. Worthy, O Lamb, art thou That all thy name should bless, That every knee to thee should bow, And every tongue confess: Thee, Jesus, thee we own For every sinner slain, With him that sitteth on the throne, Worthy art thou to reign.
