LyicsNOW begin the heavenly theme,
Sing aloud in Jesus' name;
You who his salvation prove,
Triumph in redeeming love.
Mourning souls, dry up your tears;
Banish all your guilty fears;
See your guilt and curse remove,
Cancell'd by redeeming love.
You alas! Who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin,
Now from bliss no longer rove,
Stop and taste redeeming love.
He subdued th' infernal powers--
Those tremendous foes of ours:
From their cursed empire drove--
Mighty in redeeming love.
Hither, then, your music bring,
Strike aloud each cheerful string;
Mortals join the hosts above--
Join to sing redeeming love.
