LyicsTO Him who did salvation bring
Wake every tuneful pow'r, and sing
A song of sweetest praise;
His grace diffuses, as the rains
Crown nature's flow'ry hills and plains,
And spreads a thousand ways.
Salvation is the noblest song;
O may it dwell on every tongue,
And all repeat, Amen!
The Lord will come from heav'n to earth,
To give His people second birth,
And make them one again.
We feel redemption drawing near;
We soon in glory shall appear,
And be forever blest;
His promise never can delay;
Our Jesus, on th' appointed day,
Will give His people rest.
By faith we view Him coming down,
With angels hov'ring all round;
He smiles upon His saints.
He cries aloud in melting strains,
I come to save you from your pains,
And end your sore complaints.
