-<poem>
-Now begin the heav’nly theme,
-Sing aloud in Jesus’ Name;
-Ye, who Jesus’ kindness prove,
-Triumph in redeeming love.
-Ye, who see the Father’s grace
-Beaming in the Savior’s face,
-As to Canaan on ye move,
-Praise and bless redeeming love.
-Mourning souls, dry up your tears,
-Banish all your guilty fears,
-See your guilt and curse remove,
-Cancelled by redeeming love.
-Ye, alas! who long have been
-Willing slaves to death and sin,
-Now from bliss no longer rove,
-Stoop and taste redeeming love.
-Welcome all by sin opprest,
-Welcome to your SAVIOUR’S breast;
-Nothing brought Him from above,
-Nothing but redeeming love.
-He subdu'd th'infernal pow'rs,
-His tremendous foes and ours,
-From their cursed empire drove,
-mighty in redeeming love.
-Hither then your music bring
-strike aloud each joyful string,
-Mortals join the hosts above,
-join to praise redeeming LOVE.
-Hither then your music bring,
-Strike aloud each cheerful string;
-Mortals join the host above,
-Join to praise redeeming love.
-</poem>
