16459. Let Earth And Heav'n Agree

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.
