OUR ears have heard, O glorious God,

Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)

7 Verses God's Sovereignty Victory Over Sin

Verse 1

OUR ears have heard, O glorious God, What work Thou didst of old; And how the heathen felt Thy rod Our fathers oft have told.

Verse 2

' Twas not Thy people's arm or sword, But only Thy right hand, Which scatter'd all the race abhorr'd, And gave Thy tribes their land.

Verse 3

Thou hadst a favour to the seed Which sprang of Jacob's line, And still on men afore decreed Doth love electing shine.

Verse 4

These shall the heritage obtain, And drive out every sin E'en death and hell shall rage in vain, They must the conquest win.

Verse 5

From grace alone their strength shall spring, Nor bow nor sword can save; To God alone, their Lord and King, Shall all their banners wave.

Verse 6

Awake, O Lord, of Thine elect, Thy saints from Thee alone expect Salvation's light to shine.

Verse 7

In Thee alone we make our boasts, And glory all day long; Arise at once, thou Lord of hosts, And fill our mouth with song. Charles H. Spurgeon,
