Hymn 70 HEAD OF THY CHURCH Lyrics
1. Head of thy Church triumphant,
We joyful adore Thee, Till Thou appear,
Thy members here shall sing like those in glory,
We lift our hearts and voices with blest anticipation.
And cry aloud and give to God
The praise of our salvation
2. The name we still acknowledge,
That burst our bonds in sunder And loudly sing.
Our conquering King
In songs of joy and wonder
In every day’s deliverance, Our Jesus we discover
Tis He, Tis He, that smote the sea
And led us safely over!
3. While in affliction’s furnace,
And passing through the fire,
Thy love we praise, Which knows our days
And ever brings us nigher. We clap our hands eculting,
In Thine almighty favour,
The love divine, which made us Thine
Shall Leep us thine forever
4. By faith we see the glory
To which Thou shalt restore us;
The cross despise for that high prize
Which Thou hast set before us worthy,
We each, as dying Stephen,
Shall see Thee stand at God’s right hand
To take us up to heaven.
