LET earth and Heaven agree, Angels and men be joined, To celebrate with me The Saviour of mankind; To adore the all-atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesus’ name.
Jesus, transporting sound! The joy of earth and Heaven; No other help is found, No other name is given By which we can salvation have; But Jesus came our souls to save.
His name the sinner hears, And is from sin set free; ’Tis music in his ears, ’Tis life and liberty; New songs do then his lips employ, And leaps his gladdened heart for joy.
O all-surpassing 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 lost mankind hast done?
Charles Wesley, 1707-88
