LyicsRAISE your triumphant songs
To tell of vict'ry won;
Let the wide earth resound the deeds
Celestial grace has done.
Sing how Eternal Love
His Chief Beloved chose,
And bade him raise our wretched race
From their abyss of woes.
His hand no thunder bears,
Nor terror clothes his brow;
No bolts to drive our guilty souls
To fiercer flames below.
He shows his Father's love,
To raise our souls on high;
He came with pardons from above
For rebels doom'd to die.
Now, sinners, dry your tears,
Let hopeless sorrow cease;
Bow to the sceptre of his love,
And take the offer'd peace.
Lord, we obey thy call,
We lay an humble claim
To the salvation thou hast brought,
And love and praise thy name.
