Oh spheres above that rang at birth

The child comes with scepter to break

Dashing His jar for the wretched

Word hangs silent, my voice’s sake

Jesus, Thy promised Spirit in groans

By this cross, my death and life You own

All curse upon Your head to fit

As a king fitted for a crown

My nails struck in Your healing palms

Like diadems with flesh surround

As meek inherit Your bless-ed earth

No death could dare strip You of Your worth

How blood and gore poured out like rain

As Word caused nothingness undone

From wood that grew at divine voice

Now Lamb’s great saving flood shall run

Sing of the death that brings salvation

From Word of Life regeneration

Defeating serpent imposter

Bound him for this Your church’s age

Until comes final dominion

We long to see Your holy rage

And Spirit draws obedient love

To long for our Christ’s throne from above

No more wrath from God’s righteous law

It’s met in Your capacity

To watch as bloodied cross grows grace

Tree of Eden eternity

Thy leaves and fruit You give without end

By faith alone Your mercy please send

I watch as resurrected You

Come hence in glory make me live

As dead to earth my body lost

Now life all Yours to give and give

Speak through me Thy sovereign Word of Life

My tongue knows no other name but Christ

I’m brought up from the fragile grave

Coming forth fresh anthems all new

And all the host of Heaven sing

Earth is received back unto You

Speak through me Thy sovereign Word of Life

My tongue knows no other name but Christ
