Let Earth and Heav'n Agree
"To testify the gospel of the grace of God." - Acts 20:24
VERSE 1
Let earth and heav'n 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 Jesus' name.
VERSE 2
Jesus, transporting sound!
The joy of earth and heaven;
No other help is found,
No other name is given,
By which we can salvation have;
But Jesus came the world to save.
VERSE 3
Jesus, 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 Jesus' face.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 6
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?
VERSE 7
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 Saviour died!
