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 this 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
For rebels doomed to die.
Now, children, dry your tears,
Let hopeless sorrow cease;
Yours is the sceptre of his love,
And yours the offered peace.
Lord we accept thy call,
And lay an humble claim
To the salvation thou hast brought,
And love and praise thy name.
