Lyics

TO HIM who did salvation bring

Wake every tuneful power, and sing

A song of sweetest praise;

His grace diffuses, as the rains

Crown nature's flowery hills and plains,

And spreads a thousand ways.



Salvation is the noblest song;

O may it dwell on every tongue,

And all repeat, Amen!

The Lord will come from heaven to earth,

To give his people second birth,

And make them one again.



By faith we view him coming down,

With angels hovering all around;

He smiles upon his saints;

He cries aloud in melting strains,

"I come to save you from your pains,

And end your sore complaints."
