[Triumphal notes, and hymns of joy]
Triumphal notes, and hymns of joy,
To Thee our God we'll sing;
Thy praises shall our lips employ,
O Salem's peaceful King!
To Thee our God we'll sing;
Thy praises shall our lips employ,
O Salem's peaceful King!
Thou mak'st the world obey Thy will,
Whose will is always best;
Thy word bids winds and waves be still,
And chides them into rest.
Whose will is always best;
Thy word bids winds and waves be still,
And chides them into rest.
Thy sacred Spirit on Jordan's stream
Decended like a dove;
Thou didst from wrath and sin redeem;
Thy law is peace and love.
Decended like a dove;
Thou didst from wrath and sin redeem;
Thy law is peace and love.
That law, by our kind patrons' care,
We now are daily taught;
Though once far off, we now are near,
As those to Jesus brought.
We now are daily taught;
Though once far off, we now are near,
As those to Jesus brought.
May He to every bounteous friend
His favour still increase,
Till they and we with Him ascend
To everlasting peace.
His favour still increase,
Till they and we with Him ascend
To everlasting peace.
