Author: James J. Cummins Hymnal: The Bright Array #139 (1889) First Line: Shall hymns of grateful love Refrain First Line: And shall we not take up the strain Lyrics: 1 Shall hymns of grateful love
Through Heav’n’s high arches ring,
And all the hosts above
Their songs of triumph sing?
Refrain:
And shall we not take up the strain,
And send the echo back again?
And send the echo,
Send the echo,
Send the echo, send the echo back again?
2 Shall every ransomed tribe
Of Adam’s scattered race,
To Christ all power ascribe,
Who saved them by His grace? [Refrain]
3 Shall they adore the Lord
Who bought them with His blood,
And all the love record
That led them home to God? [Refrain]
4 Then spread the joyful sound,
The Saviour’s love proclaim,
And publish all around
Salvation thro’ His Name. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Peter 1:8 Tune Title: [Shall hymns of grateful love]
