140. Come, let us lift our voices high

1 Come, let us lift our voices high,
High as our joys arise,
And join the songs above the sky,
Where pleasure never dies.

2 Jesus, the Lord that fought and bled,
How kind his smiles appear!
What melting, soothing words he says
To ev'ry humble ear!

3 "For you, the objects of my love,
"It was for you I died.
"Behold my hands, behold my feet,
"And look into my side.

4 "These are the wounds for you I bore
"The tokens of my pains,
"When I was sent to free your souls
"From misery and chains."

5 We give thee, Lord, our highest praise
For goodness so divine.
O may we ever feel thy grace,
And die to ev'ry sin!
