WITH hearts in love abounding,

WITH hearts in love abounding, Prepare we now to sing A lofty theme, resounding Thy praise, Almighty King; Whose love, rich gifts bestowing, Redeem'd the human race; Whose lips, with zeal o'erflowing, Breathe words of truth and grace.

In majesty transcendent, Gird on Thy conquering sword; In righteousness resplendent, Ride on, Incarnate Word. Ride on, O King Messiah! To glory and renown; Pierced by Thy darts of fire, Be every foe o'erthrown.

So reign, O God, in heaven, Eternally the same, And endless praise be given Clothed in Thy dazzling brightness, Thy church on earth behold; In robe of purest whiteness, In raiment wrought in gold,

And let each Gentile nation Come gladly in Thy train, To share her great salvation, And join her grateful strain: Then ne'er shall note of sadness Awake the trembling string; One song of joy and gladness The ransom'd world shall sing.
