LyicsLet earth and heaven agree,
Angels and men be join'd,
To celebrate with me
The Saviour of mankind;
T' adore the all-atoning Lamb,
And bless the sound of Jesus' name.
Jesus! transporting sound!
The joy of earth and heaven,
No other help is found,
No other name is given
By which we can salvation have,
But Jesus came the world to save.
Jesus! harmonious name!
It charms the hosts above;
They ever more proclaim,
And wonder at his love;
It is their happiness to gaze,
'Tis heaven to see our Saviour's face.
His name the sinner hears,
And is from sin set free;
'Tis music in his ears,
'Tis life and liberty;
New songs do now his lips employ,
His heart is fill'd with love and joy.
Stung by the scorpion, sin,
My poor expiring soul
The balmy sound drinks in,
And is at once made whole;
See there my Lord upon the tree!
I hear, I feel, he died for me.
O unexampled love!
O all-redeeming grace!
How swiftly didst thou move,
To save a fallen race!
What shall I do to make it known?
What thou for all mankind hast done!
O for a trumpet voice,
On all the world to call;
To bid their hearts rejoice,
In him who di'd for all;
For all my Lord was crucifi'd,
For all, for all, my Saviour di'd.
To serve thy blessed will,
Thy dying love to praise,
Thy counsel to fulfil,
And minister thy grace;
Freely what I receive to give,
The life of heav'n on earth to live.
