Now begin the heavenly theme, | |||
Sing aloud in Jesu's name; | |||
Ye, who Jesu's kindness prove, | |||
Triumph in redeeming love. | |||
Ye, who see the Father's grace | |||
Beaming in the Saviour'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, | |||
Cancell'd by redeeming love. | |||
Ye alas! who long have been | |||
Willing slaves to death and sin, | |||
Now from bliss no longer rove, | |||
Stop and taste redeeming love. | |||
Welcome all, by sin opprest, | |||
Welcome to his sacred rest; | |||
Nothing brought him from above, | |||
Nothing but redeeming love. | |||
When his spirit leads us home, | |||
When we to his glory come, | |||
We shall all the fulness prove | |||
Of our Lord's redeeming love. | |||
He subdu'd th'infernal pow'rs, | |||
Those tremendous foes of ours, | |||
From their cursed empire drove, | |||
Mighty in redeeming love. | |||
Hither, then, your music bring, | |||
Strike aloud each joyful string, | |||
Mortals join the host above, | |||
Join to praise redeeming love. | |||
