Of twofold natures, CHRIST, the Giver Of immortality and love, Ascendeth to the FATHER's glory, Ascendeth to the Throne above: Wherefore He, this glorious morn, Be by all adored: Thou That liftest up our horn, Holy art Thou, LORD! | |
Slaves are set free, and captives ransomed: The Nature that He made at first He now presenteth to the FATHER, The chains of her damnation burst: This the cause that He was born, Adam's race restored: Thou That liftest up our horn, Holy art Thou, LORD! | |
|
Emptied awhile of all His brightness, He entered thus the glorious fight; O'erthrew the foe, mankind exalted Far above every Pow'r and Might: Therefore bare He pains and scorn, Calvary's heart-blood poured:-- Thou That liftest up our horn, Holy art Thou, LORD! |

Praising the LORD they stood, the Martyr Three, Untouched amidst the fire, and wholly free: With them associate, let the world's wide frame To Him Whose healing dew restrained the flame, Send up the hymn of praise, and magnify His Name! |
