133. Let Saints on Earth Their Anthems Raise

C.M.
by J. Evans, 1784
1
Let saints on earth their anthems raise,
 
Who taste the Savior’s grace;
 
Sing, till in heaven they tune His praise,
 
And hail Him "Prince of Peace."
“If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” (1 Peter 2:3)
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)
2
Praise Him who laid His glory by
 
For man’s apostate race;
 
Praise Him who stooped to bleed and die,
 
And hail Him "Prince of Peace."
“But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.” (Philippians 2:7)
3
We soon shall reach the blissful shore,
 
And view His glorious face;
 
His name forever to adore,
 
And hail Him "Prince of Peace."
