HYMN CXXXII.

[Let heaven and earth proclaim]

Let heaven and earth proclaim
Our common Saviour's name,
Offer'd by Himself to God
In His temple here beneath,
Him who shed for all His blood,
Him for all who tasted death.

316

By faith even now we see
The suffering Deity,
At the head of whole mankind;
Lo! He comes for all to die,
Not a soul is left behind
Whom He did not love and buy.
First-born of many sons,
His blood for us atones,
Saves us from the mortal pain
If we by His cross abide,
If we in the house remain
Where our Elder Brother died.
