Let heaven highest praises bring,
Representative text
As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 297 — the newest hymnal carrying it.
Verse 1
Let heaven highest praises bring, And earth her songs of gladness sing, To magnify our Saviour, King, Who bought us by His precious blood.
Verse 2
May all the suffering Thou hast borne, The bleeding side, the cruel thorn, Our hearts to Thee in sorrow turn, And lead us safely home to God.
Verse 3
By scourgings, spittings, stripes, and scars, Jesus, the Maker of the stars, The gates of heaven for us unbars, And bids us freely enter in.
Verse 4
Fill us, O Saviour, with Thy love, Grant us eternal joys above, Oh, faithful to Thy promise prove, And cleanse us from our every sin.
