Author: John Ryland Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #134 (1899) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad
The honors of your King;
To Jesus, your incarnate God,
Your songs of praises sing.
2 Not angels round the throne
Of majesty above,
Are half so much obliged as we,
To our Immanuel's love.
3 They never sunk so low;
They are not raised so high;
They never knew such depths of woe,
Such heights of majesty.
4 The Saviour did not join
Their nature to His own;
For them He shed no blood divine,
Nor breathed a single groan.
5 May we with angels vie
The Saviour to adore;
Our debts are greater far than theirs,
Oh, be our praises more!
Amen. Topics: Angels; Christ Character of; Christ Praise to; Praise To Christ Languages: English Tune Title: BADEA
