Hail! Jesse's Root and David's Rod, Hail! David's Offspring, Son of God, To Thee my heart inclineth. Bounteous, Bounteous, Prince victorious, great and glorious, Freely giving, High enthroned o'er all things living. 2. Hail! Son of Mary, Pearl and Crown, Great Bridegroom King of high renow, Of royal race descendeth! Thy glory fills my soul, O Lord; The doctrine of Thy Holy Word Is milk and honey blended: Glad praise I raise; Hail, Hosanna! Heavenly Manna, Food sustaining Faith that else would soon be waning. 3. Shed deep within this heart of mine, Thou Holy Flame, Thou Light Divine, True love by Thine excited; Thus let my love to Thee respond, Now joined to Thee in mystic bond, A member close united: In troth, Heaven's Growth, Lily fairest, Purest, rarest, Nought shall sever Heart and eye from Thee for ever. 4. O God the Father, God of Might, Ere yet the world came out of night, Thou in Thy Son didst love me; Now safe beneath His shelter housed, To Him in heavenly bonds espoused, His Love to love doth move me: Joys pure Endure High in heaven, Where 'tis given Tiring never, Still to chant His praise for ever. 5. Now joy is come, and sorrow past; Alpha, Omega, First and Last, Of all the Source and Ending, To Paradise my soul shall raise, Where saints proclaim His ceaseless praise, To death sure comfort lending: Amen! Amen! My chief Treasure, Crown and Pleasure, Wait no longer, Evermore my love grows stronger. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
