Let us our Hearts and Voices raise

Appears in 5 hymnals Hymnal Title: Christian Hymns, Poems, and Spiritual Songs Lyrics: 1 Let us our Hearts and Voices raise, To sound the mighty Saviour's Praise, And sing he dy'd, and lives again For us, the fallen Sons of men. 2 He bare our Curse, our Debt he paid, When all our Woes on him were laid; Our Midnight Darkness chas'd away, And rais'd us to eternal Day. 3 'Tis finish'd, saith the dying God, For Man, cries all his Wounds and Blood: Salvation finish'd was for us, In Jesus, bleeding on the Cross. 4 He, fainting, felt Death's rude Divorce, To put his Testament in force; Wherein to Man he did bequeath The Labours of his Life and Death. 5 Quickly he breaks Death's feeble Chain, And to his Throne ascends again; There sits adorn'd with Wounds and Blood, And calls the wand'rers Home to God. 6 Let all the Sons of Sion sing Unwearied Praise to Christ their King, He is our Saviour, God, and we Will sound his Name eternally.

John Relly

Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Author of "The Death, and Resurrection of Immanuel"

James Relly

1722 - 1778 Hymnal Title: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs Author of "Let us our hearts and voices raise" in Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs James Relly was born about 1722 at Jeffreston, Pembrokeshire, Wales, and died in 1778. He was converted to Christianity during the Great Awakening ushered in by George Whitefield. He worked under George Whitefield as a Calvinistic Methodist preacher and missionary. However, Whitefield and Relly separated ways over Relly's seemingly universalist teaching that all humanity was elect (i.e. saved) when Christ took the punishment for all sin when he died. He also departed from both the Calvinists and Methodists by taking the doctrine of Justification further, in teaching that believers no longer sin and the Law's sole purpose is to condemn humanity and point them to Christ. He was the mentor of John Murray, the founder of the Universalist Church of America. Relly along with his brother John wrote Christian Hymns, Poems and Spiritual Songs in 1758, which John Murray had republished in America in 1776.
