The Bright Array ‎#139

139. Hymns of Grateful Love

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]
