Now begin the heavenly theme,
Triumph in our Saviour’s name;
Ye who Jesus kindness prove,
Sing of his redeeming love.
Mourning souls, restrain your tears;
Quiet unbelieving fears;
See your guilt and curse remove,
Cancelled by redeeming love.
Ye, alas! who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin,
Now from bliss no longer rove,
Oh, believe redeeming love.
Welcome all, by sin oppressed,
Welcome to the Saviour’s rest;
Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing but redeeming love.
He subdued th' infernal powers,
His inveterate foes, and ours:
These he from their empire drove,
Mighty in redeeming love.
Hither, then, your tribute bring;
Strike aloud each joyful string:
Saints below, and saints above,
Join to praise redeeming love.
---Alternative verses---
Now begin the heavenly theme;
Sing of mercy's healing stream
Ye who Jesus' kindness prove,
Sing of his redeeming love.
