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 doom'd 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.
