His Love Make Known

Representative Text

1 Eternal God, celestial King,
Exalted be thy glorious name;
Let hosts in heaven thy praises sing,
And saints on earth thy love proclaim.

2 My heart is fixed on thee, my god,
I rest my hope on thee alone;
I'll spread thy sacred truths abroad,
To all mankind thy love make known.

3 With those who in thy grace abound,
To thee I'll raise my thankful voice,
Till every land, the earth around,
Shall hear, and in thy name rejoice.
