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

Redeemed 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

To Thine al­migh­ty name.

Clothed in Thy dazz­ling bright­ness

Thy Church on earth be­hold

In robes of pur­est white­ness

In rai­ment wrought with gold.

And let each Gen­tile na­tion

Come glad­ly in her train

To share Thy 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 ran­somed world shall sing.
