Lyics

Now begin the heav'nly theme,

Sing aloud in Jesus name,

Ye, who Jesus' kindness prove,

Triumph in redeeming love.



Ye, who see the father's grace

Beaming in the Saviour's face,

As to Canaan on ye move,

Praise and bless redeeming love.



Ye alas! who long have been

Willing slaves of death and sin,

Now from bliss no longer rove,

Stop and taste redeeming love.



Hither then your music bring,

Strike aloud each joyful string;

Mortals join the hosts above-

Join to praise redeeming love.
