[Sing ye heavens, and earth rejoice]

Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth, &c. —xlix. 13.

Sing ye heavens, and earth rejoice,
Sons of men, lift up your voice,
Great ones, who o'erlook the throng,
Shout at learning the new song,
Vie with that acclaiming host,
Ye have cause to triumph most,
Dearer to their King above,
Ransom'd by His dying love.
Jesus hath fulfill'd His word,
He, our dear redeeming Lord
Hath in mortal flesh appear'd,
All His mournful people cheer'd:
Millions of the fallen race
Through His comfortable grace
Here have known their sins forgiven,
Gone in perfect peace to heaven.
Millions more their Lord shall know,
When He doth His mercy show,
Mercy's utmost power display
In the long-expected day:
Come, Thou universal Friend,
Human miseries to end,
Jews, and Turks, and heathens call,
All receive, who diedst for all.
