218. Let earth and heaven combine

1 Let earth and heaven combine,
Angels and men agree,
To praise in songs divine
The incarnate Deity:
To adore the all-atoning Lamb,
And bless the sound of Jesus' Name.

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.

3 For me and all mankind
The Lamb of God was slain:
My Lord His life resigned
For every soul of man:
Loving to all, He none passed by,
He would not have one sinner die.

4 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?
