42. Hymns of Grateful Love

1 Shall hymns of grateful love,
Thro' heav’n’s high arches ring,
And all the hosts above,
Their songs of triumph sing.

Full Chorus:
And shall not we 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 powers ascribe,
Who saved them by his grace? [Chorus]

3 Shall they adore the Lord,
Who bought them with His blood,
And all the love record,
That led them home to God? [Chorus]

4 Then spread the joyful sound,
The Saviour’s love proclaim,
And publish all around,
Salvation through His name. [Chorus]
