Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain? Shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain? 2 Lord, on Thee our souls depend; In compassion now descend; Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace, Tune our lips to sing Thy praise, Tune our lips to sing Thy praise. 3 In Thine own appointed way, Now we seek Thee; here we stay; Lord, we know not how to go, Till a blessing Thou bestow, Till a blessing Thou bestow. 4 Send some message from Thy Word, That may joy and peace afford; Let Thy Spirit now impart Full salvation to each heart, Full salvation to each heart. 5 Comfort those who weep and mourn; Let the time of joy return; Heal the sick, the captive free; Let us all rejoice in Thee, Let us all rejoice in Thee.

Let the world’s remotest bound Hear the joy inspiring sound, Hear the joy inspiring sound. 3. Saints on earth, lift up your eyes Now to glory see Him rise, In long triumph up the sky, Up to waiting worlds on high, Up to waiting worlds on high. 4. Heaven unfolds its portals wide, Gracious Hero, through them ride; King of glory, mount Thy throne, Boundless empire is Thine own, Boundless empire is Thine own. 5. Praise Him, ye celestial choirs, Praise, and sweep your golden lyres, Shout, O earth, in rapturous song; Let the strains be sweet and strong, Let the strains be sweet and strong. 6. Every note with wonder swell, Sin o’erthrown, and captived hell, Where is hell’s once dreaded king? Where, O death, thy mortal sting? Where, O death, thy mortal sting? 7. or 8.

Praise Him all ye heavenly choirs, Raptured, sweep your sounding lyres Sons of men, in humbler strain, Sing your mighty Savior’s reign, Sing your mighty Savior’s reign. 11. Every note with wonder swell; Sin o’erthrown, and captived hell! Where is now, O death! thy sting? Where thy terrors, vanquished king, Where thy terrors, vanquished king!
