Lyics

HOW much the drooping hearts revive

Of those who fear the Lord,

When sinners dead are made alive

By his reviving word!



The servants of the Lord rejoice,

When souls receive the word-

When ransom'd sinners hear his voice,

Return and love the Lord.



The church of God their praises join,

And of salvation sing;

They glorify the grace divine

Of their victorious King.



In heav'n above, th' angelic throng

Around the throne rejoice;

But sinners sav'd should swell the song

With loudest, sweetest voice.
