125. Shall hymns of grateful love

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

Full Chorus:
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 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]
