To testify the gospel of the grace of God Acts 20:24
1 Let earth and heaven agree,
Angels and men be joined,
To celebrate with me
The Saviour of mankind,
To adore the all-atoning Lamb,
And bless the sound of Jesus’name
2 Jesus, transporting sound!
The joy of earth and heaven;
No other help is found,
No other name is given,
By which we can salvation have,
But Jesus came the world to save
3 Jesus, harmonious name!
It charms the hosts above;
They evermore proclaim,
And wonder at His love;
‘Tis all their happiness to gaze
‘Tis heaven to see our Jesus’ face.
4 His name the sinner hears,
And is from sin set free,
“Tis music in his ears,
“Tis life and victory.
New songs do now his lips employ,
And dances his glad heart for joy.
5 Stung by the scorpion sin,
My poor expiring soul
The balmy sound drinks in,
And is at once made whole:
See there my Lord upon the tee!
I hear, I feel, he died for me.
- O unexampled love!
O all-redeeming grace!
How swiftly didst thou move
To save a fallen race!
What shall I do to make it known
What Thou for all mankind has done?
