499. Eternal Lord of Earth and Skies

1 Eternal Lord of earth and skies,
We wait Thy Spirit's latest call:
Bid all our fallen race arise.
(Thou who hast purchased life for all)
Saved by that wondrous Look divine
Which makes Thy full salvation mine.

2 Sole self-existent God supreme
Thee, Jesus, let the world confess,
Whose blood did the whole world redeem,
And seals the universal peace,
Whose only name, to sinners given,
Snatches from hell, and lifts to heaven.
