Verse 1
Rise, ye dearly purchas’d sinners,
Fill’d with faith’s assurance rise,
Thro’ the loss of Jesus winners,
Lords of all in earth and skies,
Sing, and triumph
In his bleeding sacrifice.
Verse 2
To his meritorious passion
All our happiness we owe,
Pardon, holiness, salvation,
Heaven above, and heaven below,
Grace and glory
From that open fountain flow.
Verse 3
Blest in our returning Saviour,
When he hath prepar’d our place
We shall reign with him for ever,
Folded in his love’s embrace:
Come, Redeemer,
Shew us all thy heavenly face!
Verse 4
Now reveal thy full salvation,
Let thy brightest lightnings shine,
In the thundring acclamation,
While both saints and angels join;
Sounds the trumpet,
Flames unfurl the crimson sign!
Verse 5
With thine army of cross-bearers
Lo! We wait, we long to rise,
In thy royal triumph sharers,
In thy joy beyond the skies:
Come the kingdom,
Saviour bring th’ immortal prize!
Verse 6
Answer thy own bride and Spirit,
Hasten, Lord, the general doom,
The new heav’n and earth t’ inherit,
Take thy pining exiles home;
All creation
Travels [Travails], groans, and bids thee come!
