 Can we, whose souls are lighted

With wisdom from on high,

Can we to men benighted

The lamp of life deny?

Salvation! oh, salvation!

The joyful sound proclaim,

Till each remotest nation

Has learn'd Messiah's Name.

Waft, waft, ye winds His story,

And you, ye waters roll,

Till like a sea of glory,

It spreads from pole to pole;

Till, o'er our ransom'd nature

The Lamb for sinners slain,

Redeemer, King, Creator,

In bliss returns to reign!

Give to our God immortal praise;

Mercy and truth are in His ways;

Wonders of grace to God belong;

Repeat His mercies in your song.

He built the earth, He spread the sky,

And fix'd the starry lights on high;

Wonders of grace to God belong;

Repeat His mercies in your song.

He sent His Son with pow'r to save

From guilt, and darkness, and the grave!

Wonders of grace to God belong;

Repeat His mercies in your song.
