HYMN 104. (S. M.) The same.
[Raise your triumphant songs]
I
Raise your triumphant songsTo an immortal tune,
Let the wide earth resound the deeds
Celestial grace has done.
II
Sing how eternal loveIts chief beloved chose,
And bid him raise our wretched race
From their abyss of woes.
III
His hand no thunder bears,Nor terror clothes his brow,
No bolts to drive our guilty souls
To fiercer flames below.
IV
'Twas mercy fill'd the throne,And wrath stood silent by,
When Christ was sent with pardons down
To rebels doom'd to die.
V
Now, sinners, dry your tears,Let hopeless sorrow cease;
Bow to the sceptre of his love,
And take the offer'd peace.
VI
Lord, we obey thy call;We lay an humble claim
To the salvation thou hast brought,
And love and praise thy name.
