The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns ‎#CXCIII

CXCIII. Redeeming Love

1 Now begin the heav'nly Theme,
Sing aloud in Jesu's Name;
Ye who Jesu's Kindness prove
Triumph in redeeming Love.

2 Ye, who see the Father's Grace
Beaming in the Saviour's Face
As to Canaan on ye move
Praise and bless redeeming Love.

3 Mourning Souls dry up your Tears,
Banish all your guilty Fears;
See your Guilt and Curse remove,
Cancell'd by redeeming Love.

4 Ye, alas! who long have been
Willing Slaves of Death and Sin;
Now from Bliss no longer rove,
Stop--and taste redeeming Love.

5 Welcome all, by Sin opprest,
Welcome all to Jesus Christ;
Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing but redeeming Love.

6 He subdu'd th' infernal Pow'rs,
His tremendous Foes and ours,
From their cursed Empire drove,
Mighty in redeeming Love.

7 Hither then your Music bring,
Strike aloud each joyful String;
Mortals join the Hosts above,
Join to praise redeeming Love.
