MHB 411: Head of Thy Church triumphant
1 Head of Thy Church triumphant
We joyfully adore Thee;
Till Thou appear, Thy members here
Shall sing like those in glory:
We lift our hearts and voices
With blest anticipation,
And cry aloud, and give to God
The praise of our salvation
4 By faith we see the glory
To which Thou shalt restore us
The cross despise for that high prize
Which Thou hast set before us;
And if Thou count us worthy
We each, as dying Stephen
Shall see Thee stand at God’s right hand
To take us up to heaven
This is a very popular hymn written by great hymn-writer, Charles Wesley. He is considered the greatest hymn-writer of the Wesley family and by extension greatest hymn-writer of all ages, taking quantity and quality into consideration. I’ve always loved the first verse of this great hymn (I enjoy singing the part that says; “and cry aloud and give to God…..”) Recently I discovered the fourth verse and loved it almost as much as the first.
Kindly share your favorite hymn in the comments. I would love to add-on to my hymn collection.
