TRIUMPHS OF THE GOSPEL.
What waves of music roll,
What songs of joy come swelling,
Among the angel bands,
Along heaven's sacred dwelling,
When penitents return,
When dying souls revive,
Forsake the way of death,
And learn for God to live!
What songs of joy come swelling,
Among the angel bands,
Along heaven's sacred dwelling,
When penitents return,
When dying souls revive,
Forsake the way of death,
And learn for God to live!
Among the saints on earth,
What praise and adoration
To God the Saviour wake,
When lost ones seek salvation!
The sacramental host,
That spreads from sea to sea,
While the glad numbers grow,
Sing their fresh Jubilee.
What praise and adoration
To God the Saviour wake,
When lost ones seek salvation!
The sacramental host,
That spreads from sea to sea,
While the glad numbers grow,
Sing their fresh Jubilee.
Hail, day of holy joy!
Though earth's last days are wasting,
When happy converts come,
Like doves, to Jesus hasting!
Ride on, Thou conquering Prince,
Till all the world obey,
And all the ransomed earth
Yield to Thy blessed sway.
Though earth's last days are wasting,
When happy converts come,
Like doves, to Jesus hasting!
Ride on, Thou conquering Prince,
Till all the world obey,
And all the ransomed earth
Yield to Thy blessed sway.
