Thy kingdom shall increase,
Happy, if with my latest breath Till all the world thy glory see,

Preach him to all, and cry in death: And righteousness abound
Behold, behold the lamb! As the great deep profound,
HOME And fill the earth with purity. 5/5

050 My heart and voice I raise
Verse 1 051 The God of love my shepherd
My heart and voice I raise, is
To spread Messiah's praise; The God of love my shepherd is,
Messiah's praise let all repeat: And he that doth me feed;

And poured his sacred blood,
To set the guilty captives free. 2/5 Yea, in death's shady black abode
Well may I walk, not fear;
Verse 3 For thou art with me, and thy rod To guide, thy
But soon the Victor rose staff to bear.
Triumphant o'er his foes,
And led the vanquished host in chains: Surely thy sweet and wondrous love
Shall measure all my days;
He threw their empire down, And, as it never shall remove, So neither shall
His foes compelled to own my praise.
O'er all the great Messiah reigns. 3/5 HOME

Verse 4 052 Let earth and heaven agree
With mercy's mildest grace,
He governs all our race Verse 1
Let earth and heaven agree,
In wisdom, righteousness, and love:

Who to Messiah fly To celebrate with me
Shall find redemption nigh, The saviour of mankind; To adore the all-atoning
And all his great salvation prove. 4/5 lamb,
And bless the sound of jesu's name.
