Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books #I.LXXXIV (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Jehovah speaks, let Isr'el hear Lyrics: 1 Jehovah speaks, let Isr'el hear;
Let all the earth rejoice and fear,
While God's eternal Son proclaims
His sov'reign honours and his names:
2 "I am the Last, and I the First,
"The Saviour God, and God the Just;
"There's none beside pretends to shew
"Such justice and salvation too.
3 ["Ye that in shades of darkness dwell,
"Just on the verge of death and hell,
"Look up to me from distant lands;
"Light, life, and heav'n, are in my hands.
4 "I by my holy name have sworn,
"Nor shall the word in vain return,
"To me shall all things bend the knee,
"And ev'ry tongue shall swear to me.
5 "In me alone shall men confess
"Lies all their strength and righteousness;
"But such as dare despise my name,
"I'll clothe them with eternal shame.
6 "In me, the Lord, shall all the seed
"Of Isr'el from their sins be freed,
"And by their shining graces prove
"Their int'rest in my pard'ning love." Scripture: Isaiah 45:21-25 Languages: English
Salvation, righteousness and strength in Christ
