Raise your devotion, mortal tongues,
                                        
                                        To reach His blest abode;
                                        
                                        Sweet be the accents of your songs
                                        
                                        To our incarnate God.
                                        
                                        Bright angels, strike your loudest strings,
                                        
                                        Your sweetest voices raise;
                                        
                                        Let Heav’n and all created things
                                        
                                        Sound our Immanuel’s praise.
