1 Let earth and Heav’n agree,
Angels and men be joined,
To celebrate with me
The Savior of mankind,
T’adore the all-atoning Lamb,
And bless the sound of Jesu’s name.
2 Jesus! transporting sound!
The joy of earth and Heav’n;
No other help is found,
No other name is giv’n,
By which we can salvation have,
But Jesus came to world to save.
3 Jesus! harmonious name!
It charms the host above;
They evermore proclaim,
And wonder at His love;
’Tis all their happiness to gaze,
’Tis heav’n to see our Jesu’s face.
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.
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.
6 For me and all mankind,
The Lamb of God was slain,
My lamb His life resigned
For every soul of man:
Loving to all, He none passed by,
He would not have one sinner die.
7 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!
8 For this alone I breathe
To spread the Gospel sound,
Glad tidings of Thy death
To all the nations round;
Who all may feel Thy blood applied,
Since all are freely justified.
9 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 Savior died.
10 To serve Thy blessèd will,
Thy dying love to praise,
Thy counsel to fulfill,
And minister Thy grace,
Freely what I receive to give,
The life of Heav’n on earth I live.
