CLXXX. Redeemed sinners praising eternal love

1 To love divine, th' eternal song,
Shouted around Jehovah's throne,
Attend ye sav'd, ye pardon'd throng,
And make the rising notes your own.

2 'Tis yours to sing th' eternal date
Of love divine and how it moves
To helpless man; with triumph great,
sing loud, for God the song approves.

3 Hail Bethl'em! Hail the ruddy morn,
Whose rays adorn the infant God!
Messiah, of a virgin born,
A God! a man to die in blood.

4 For us salvation wide displays
Her amb'ent and refreshing wing;
Thy love, dear Saviour, we will praise,
And all its peerless glories sing.

5 We'll sing the garden and the tree,
Red with the blood that cries for peace;
Heav'n echoes back as pleas'd in thee
To shew its glories and its grace.

6 We'll sing a note that high prevails,
Above the angels free from sin;
who cannot taste the love that heals,
Or sweets of conscience, thus made clean.

7 Thy love, O Jesus, is the theme,
The song of saints shall ever tell;
And through eternity proclaim
Thy vict'ry over sin and hell.
