LyicsRAISE your triumphant songs
To an immortal tune;
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,
No 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 pardon from above
To rebels doom'd to die.
Now, sinners, dry your tears;
Let hopeless sorrow cease;
Bow to the scepter of His love,
And take the offer'd peace.
