Thus didst Thou our souls deliver From the bonds of sin forever; Praise and glory ever be, Blessed Jesus, unto thee. 3 Thou didst bear the smiting only, That it might not fall on me; Stoodest falsely charged and lonely, That I might be safe and free; Comfortless Thy soul did languish To bring comfort in our anguish; Praise and glory ever be, Blessed Jesus, unto thee. 4 Then for all that wrought our pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the garden, I will thank Thee evermore; To my latest breath I'll offer Thanks for all that Thou didst suffer, For that last last expiring sigh Praise Thee evermore on high. Amen.

God's Great Refrain

Author: Alice J. Nichols Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Listen to the wondrous music Lyrics: 1 Listen to the wondrous music Ringing down the ages long, ’Tis the voice of great Jehovah Breaking forth in mighty song, Singing of His Christ our king, Who should come in lowly birth, And with truth and righteousness Reign and rule in all the earth. 2 Persecution met His prophets, Sword and dungeon, pain and stress; Prisoned, slain was His forerunner Preaching forth in righteousness; Mocked and scourged and crucified Was His promised Christ, our king, Yet thro’ all the rage and scorn Hear the song of triumph ring. 3 Onward, onward, His dominion Swept the earth with mighty flood, Naught could hinder its sure triumph, Heroes’ fires nor martyrs’ blood; Ever gleamed the cross more bright, Still more glorious grew the King, As from age to age glad souls Heard the song of triumph ring. 4 Unto every tribe and nation Speed the heralds of the cross, Finding joy in tribulation, Counting all for Him but loss; Heathen hearts a Savior find, All the isles proclaim Him king, Yea, in every land and race Hear the song of triumph ring. 5 Mighty God, Thy voice clear ringing Reaches to earth’s farthest shore; Dare hearts still deny Thee welcome? Dare they fail Christ to adore? God eternal, let Thy song Still in heav’nly cadence ring, Till each heart the Christ confess, And, adoring, crown Him king.
