A Third Hymn For The Kirk.
18th Century Joanna Baillie EnglishA THIRD HYMN FOR THE KIRK.
UP, sluggard soul! awake and raise, To thy blest Lord a song of praise, Who lifts thee from the gloomy grave, When low on earth thou liest, — To Him who lived and died to save, Hosanna in the highest!
To Him, thy friend of friends, whose love Invites thee to a home above, When thou, the world's poor outcast slave In grief and anguish criest, — To Him who lived and died to save, Hosanna in the highest!
His love a living stream hath found For pilgrims faint, on barren ground, Their parched and languid souls to lave, When earthly streams are driest, — To him who lived and died to save, Hosanna in the highest!
