LyicsNOW begin the heav'nly theme;
Sing aloud in Jesus' name;
Ye who His salvation 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.
Welcome, all by sin oppress'd,
Welcome to His sacred rest;
Nothing brought Him from above,
Nothing but redeeming love.
Hither, then, your music bring;
Strike aloud each cheerful string;
Mortals, join the host above--
Join to praise redeeming love.
