150. Break Forth and Sing the Song

S.M.
by Watts, 1709; altered by W. Hammond, 1745
1
Break forth and sing the song
 
Of "Glory to the Lamb!"
 
Wake every heart and every tongue
 
To praise the Savior’s name.
2
Sing of His dying love;
 
Sing of His rising power;
 
Sing how He intercedes above
 
For those whose sins He bore.
3
Sing on your heavenly road,
 
Ye sons of glory, sing;
 
To the ascended Lamb of God
 
Your cheerful praises bring.
4
Soon shall we hear Him say,
 
"Ye ransomed pilgrims, come";
 
Soon will He call us hence away,
 
And take us to His home.
5
Then shall each raptured tongue
 
His fullest praise proclaim;
 
And sweeter voices wake the song
 
Of "Glory to the Lamb!"
