The Psalms of David ‎#II.CIV

II.CIV. Raise your triumphant Songs

1 Raise your triumphant Songs
To an immortal Tune,
Let the wide Earth resound the Deeds
Celestial Grace has done.

2 Sing how eternal Love
Its chief Beloved chose,
And bid him raise our wretched Race
From their Abyss of Woes.

3 His Hand no Thunder bears,
Nor Terror clothes his Brow,
No bolts to drive our guilty Souls
To fiercer Flames below.

4 'Twas Mercy fill'd the Throne,
And Wrath stood silent by,
When Christ was sent with Pardon down,
To Rebels doom'd to die.

5 Now Sinners, dry your Tears,
Let hopeless Sorrow cease;
Bow to the Sceptre of his Love,
And take the offer'd Peace.

6 Lord, we obey thy Call,
We lay an humble Claim
To the Salvation thou hast brought,
And love and praise thy Name.
