Lyics

YOU sons of God, your tongues employ,

And spread the rapturous sound;

You angels join the general joy,

And bear the echo round.



Salvation to Jehovah's name,

With grateful hearts we sing,

And join our voices to proclaim

The love of Israel's King.



Down from the world of radiant light,

Behold the Saviour come,

To ransom souls from endless night,

And bring the wand'rers home.



Immortal praise to God belongs,

For such unrivalled love;

Join all below, the rapt'rous song,

And shout you hosts above.
