LyicsO for a shout of joy,
High as the theme we sing!
To this divine employ
Your hearts and voices bring:
Sound, sound, thro' all the earth abroad,
The love, th' eternal love, of God.
Unnumber'd myriads stand,
Of seraphs bright and fair;
Or bow at His right hand,
And pay their homage there;
But strive in vain, with loudest chord,
To sound the wondrous love of God.
