Verse 1
LET earth and heaven agree, Angels and men be joined, To celebrate with me The Saviour of mankind; To adore the all-atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesu's name.
Verse 2
Jesus, transporting sound! The joy of earth and heaven; No other help is found, No other name is given, By which we can salvation have; But Jesus came the world to save.
Verse 3
Jesus, harmonious name! It charms the hosts above; They evermore proclaim And wonder at his love; ' Tis all their happiness to gaze, ' Tis heaven to see our Jesu's face.
Verse 4
His name the sinner hears, And is from sin set free; ' Tis music in his ears, ' Tis life and victory; New songs do now his lips employ, And dances his glad heart for joy.
Verse 5
Stung by the scorpion sin, My poor expiring soul The balmy sound drinks in, And is at once made whole: See there my Lord upon the tree! I hear, I feel, he died for me.
Verse 6
O unexampled love! O all-redeeming grace! How swiftly didst thou move To save a fallen race! What shall I do to make it known What thou for all mankind hast done?
Verse 7
O for a trumpet voice, On all the world to call! To bid their hearts rejoice In him who died for all; For all my Lord was crucified, For all, for all my Saviour died!
