Still in undisturbed possession Peace and righteousness shall reign; Never shall you feel oppression, Hear the voice of war again. 3 Ye, no more your suns descending, Waning moon no more shall see, But, your griefs for ever ending, Find eternal noon in me. God shall rise, and shining o'er you, Change to day the gloom of night; He, the Lord, shall be your Glory, God, your everlasting Light.

The Counsels of Redeeming Love

Meter: Irregular Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:8 First Line: The Eternal speaks, all heaven attends Lyrics: 1 Th' Eternal speaks: All heav'n attends: Who that unhappy race defends, While justice aims the blow? See nature tremble at their fates: Death with his iron sceptre waits: Hell opes her adamantine gates, And triumphs at their woe. 2 Which of the bright celestial throng, With Love so warm, and heart so strong, Dares languish on a cross? Who can leave liberty for chains? Abandon ecstacy, for pains? What angel fortitude sustains Th' inestimable Loss. 3 He said: And death like silence reign'd: Deep was their awe: The radiant band, The mighty task declin'd, At once, heav'n's Prince the silence broke, And ardent thus, the Sire bespoke, "None, but thy Son can ward the stroke;, Ten let the task be mine. 4 Mine, be the feeble infant state; Mine, in return for love be hate; A manger be my throne. Pain, when thy glory calls, is bliss; When man's in danger, torture's peace; Shame praise; a paradise th' abyss: Then yield thy darling Son." 5 Th' Almignty radiance smil'd assent, Loud was the shout that ether rent, All heav'n was in amaze. Be born, in anguish to expire;" Earth triumph: Angels strike the lyre, To everlasting praise. Topics: The Wonders of Redemption, celebrated in Songs of Praise Text Sources: Knapp's Psalmody
