Hymnal: Christian Hymns #135 (1898) Lyrics: 1 Let the earth now praise the Lord,
Who hath truly kept His word,
And the sinner's Help and Friend
Now at last to us doth send.
2 What the fathers most desired,
What the prophets' heart inspired,
What they longed for many a year,
Stands fulfilled in glory here.
3 Abram's promised great reward,
Zion's Helper, Jacob's Lord,
Him of twofold race behold,
Truly come, as long foretold.
4 Welcome, O my Saviour, now!
Hail! my portion, Lord, art Thou!
Here, too, in my heart, I pray,
Oh, prepare Thyself a way!
5 And when Thou dost come again,
As a glorious king to reign,
I with joy may see Thy face,
Freely ransomed by Thy grace. Topics: TheChurch Year Advent; TheChurch Year Christmas; Christ The Promised Messiah Languages: English Tune Title: LET THE EARTH NOW PRAISE THE LORD
