Verse 1
Made capable thro’ Jesus word
The quickning voice of God to hear,
To praise him by all heaven ador’d,
His person and his character
We testify in Christ exprest,
And bear his image in our breast.
Verse 2
Jesus, the Patron of mankind
With fixt astonishment we praise,
The end of all his wonders find,
His works are miracles of grace,
His power in acts of mercy shew’d
Only intends his creature’s good.
Verse 3
The deaf, we to his voice attend,
“Be sav’d; be perfected; come up!”
The dumb in rapt’rous hymns ascend,
And shouting gain the mountain-top,
In songs of pure Seraphic joy
A blest eternity t’ employ.
