The Stennetts of England - Joseph Stennett - Hymn Poems

Come, let us bless the glorious name

Come, let us bless the glorious name
Of our great prince Immanuel;
Who from heav'ns highest regions
Came, To save us from the lowest hell.

Nor did this prince of life disdain
A mortal body to assume;
To live in sorrow, die in pain,
And be interr'd within a tomb.

That men, by guilt of life bereav'd.
Might have their num'rous crimes forgiven;
Rebels might be to grace receiv'd,
Enlarge the family of heaven.

Th' angelick host this grace admire,
Which reconciles apostate man
To found that mystick deep desire,
Contriv'd before the world began.

They with soft musick fill'd the air,
When first our Saviour drew his breath:
They chear'd his mind opprest with care,
When tempted, and approaching death.

They now around his throne above
To heav'nly ayres their voices raise;
With humble joy that grace approve
Which yields 'em endless songs of praise.

While they loud Hallelujah's sing
Above our notes, our thoughts above;
In glad Hosanna's to our king
We'll sing of reconciling love.
