Hymn XI Source: Hymns on God's Everlasting Love (1742) Author: Charles Wesley --- Let earth and heaven agree, Angels and men be join'd To celebrate with me The Saviour of mankind, T' adore the all-atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesu's name. Jesus, transporting sound! The joy of earth and heaven! No other help is found, No other name is given By which we can salvation have: But Jesus came the world to save. Jesus, harmonious name! It charms the hosts above; They evermore proclaim, And wonder at his love? 'Tis all their happiness to gaze, 'Tis heaven to see our Jesu's face. His name the sinner hears, And is from sin set free; 'Tis musick in his ears, 'Tis life, and victory; New songs do now his lips employ, And dances his glad heart for joy. Stung by the scorpion sin My poor expiring soul The balmy sound drinks in, And is at once made whole, See there my Lord upon the tree! I hear, I feel he died for me. For me, and all mankind, The Lamb of God was slain, My Lamb his life resign'd For every soul of man: Loving to all, he none pass'd by, He would not have one sinner die. O unexampled love, O all-redeeming grace! How freely didst thou move To save a fallen race! What shall I do to make it known What thou for all mankind hast done! For this alone I breathe To spread the gospel sound, Glad tidings of thy death To all the nations round; Who all may feel thy blood applied, Since all are freely justified. O for a trumpet-voice On all the world to call, To bid their hearts rejoice In him, who died for all! For all my Lord was crucified, For all, for all my Saviour died. To serve thy blessed will, Thy dying love to praise, Thy counsel to fulfil, And minister thy grace, Freely what I receive to give, The life of heaven on earth I live.
