Dover, Silver-Street. 1 LET God the Father live

Forever on our tongues :
Sinners from his first love derive

The ground of all their songs. 2 Ye saints, employ your breath

In honour to the Son,
Who bought your souls from hell and death

By offering up his own. 3 Give to the Spirit praise

Of an immortal strain,
Whose light and power and grace conveys

Salvation down to men.
While God the Comforter

Reveals our pardon'd sin,
O may the blood and water bear

The same record within!

That seal this grace in heaven,
The Father, Son, and Spirit, be

Eternal glory given.

The growing glories of her King.

Hosanna to Christ.
1 HOSANNA to the royal Son

Of David's ancient line;
His natures two, his person one,

Mysterious and divine.
2 The root of David here we find,

And offspring is the same; Eternity and time are join'd

In our Immanuel's name. 3 Bless'd He that comes to wretched men

With peaceful news froin heaven; Hosannas of the highest strain

To Christ the Lord be given ! 4 Let mortals ne'er refuse to take

Th’ hosanna on their tongues, Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break

Their silence into songs.
