My Heart and Voice I Raise (Ascalon) [Instrumental Version]
guitar chords lyrics
My heart and voice I raise,
To spread Messiah's praise;
Messiah's praise let all repeat:
The universal Lord,
By whose almighty Word
Creation rose in form complete.
A servant's form He wore,
And in His body bore
Our dreadful curse on Calvary:
He like a victim stood,
And poured His sacred blood,
To set the guilty captive free.
But soon the Victor rose
Triumphant o'er His foes,
And led the vanquished host in chains;
But soon the Victor rose
Triumphant o'er His foes,
And led the vanquished host in chains;
He threw their empire down,
His foes compelled to own—
O'er all, the great Messiah reigns.
With mercy's mildest grace,
He governs all our race,
In wisdom, righteousness, and love:
Who to Messiah fly
Shall find redemption nigh,
And all His great salvation prove.
Hail, Savior, Prince of Peace!
Thy kingdom shall increase,
Till all the world Thy glory see;
And righteousness abound,
As the great deep profound,
And fill the earth with purity!
