The humiliation, exaltation and triumphs of Christ

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXLVIII (1792) Topics: The Exaltation and Kingdom of Christ; Exaltation of Christ First Line: The mighty frame of glorious grace Lyrics: 1 The mighty frame of glorious grace, That brightest monument of praise That e'er the God of love design'd, Employs and fills my laboring mind. 2 Begin, my soul, the heav'nly song, A burden for an angel's tongue: When Gabriel sounds these awful things, He tunes and summons all his strings. 3 Proclaim inimitable love: Jesus, the Lord of worlds above, Puts off the beams of bright array, And veils the God in mortal clay. 4 He that distributes crowns and thrones Hangs on a tree, and bleeds, and groans: The Prince of Life resigns his breath, The King of Glory bows to death. 5 But see the wonders of his power, He triumphs in his dying hour, And, while by Satan's rage he fell, He dash'd the rising hopes of hell. 6 Thus were the hosts of death subdu'd, And sin was drown'd in Jesus's blood: Thus he arose, and reigns above, And conquers sinners by his love. 7 Who shall fulfil this boundless song? The theme surmounts an Angel's tongue: How low, how vain are mortal airs, When Gabriel's nobler harp despairs! Scripture: Philippians 2:8-9 Languages: English
