1 Oh, sweetly breathe the lyres above,
When angels touch the quivering string,
And wake, to chant Immanuel’s love,
Such strains as angel lips can sing.
2 And sweet, on earth, the choral swell,
From mortal tongues, of gladsome lays;
When pardoned souls their raptures tell,
And, grateful hymn Immanuel’s praise.
3 Jesus, Thy name our souls adore;
We own the bond that makes us Thine;
And carnal joys, that charmed before,
For Thy dear sake we now resign.
4 Our hearts, by dying love subdued,
Accept Thine offered grace today;
Beneath the cross, with blood bedewed,
We bow, and give ourselves away.
5 In Thee we trust—on Thee rely;
Though we are feeble, Thou art strong;
Oh keep us till our spirits fly
To join the bright immortal throng.
