1LET 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.
2Jesus, transporting sound!
The joy of earth and heaven;
No other name is found;
No other name is given,
By which we can salvation have;
But Jesus came the world to save.
3Jesus, 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.
4His 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.
5Stung 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.
6O 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!
7O 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!
8To serve thy blessed will,
Thy dying love to praise,
Thy counsel to fulfill,
And minister thy grace,
Freely what I receive to give,
The life of heaven on earth to live.
