Shall hymns of grateful love
Through Heaven’s high arches ring,
And all the hosts above
their songs of triumph sing;
And shall we not take up the strain,
And send the echo back again?
Shall every ransomed tribe
Of Adam’s scattered race
To Christ all power ascribe,
Who saved them by His grace;
And shall not we take up the strain,
And send the echo back again?
Shall they adore the Lord,
Who bought them with His blood,
And all the love record
that led them home to God;
And shall not we take up the strain,
And send the echo back again?
O spread the joyful sound,
The Saviour’s love proclaim,
And publish all around
Salvation through His Name;
Till all the world take up the strain,
And send the echo back again.
