80. On Earth the Song Begins

6,6,6,6,8,8.

1
On earth the song begins;
 
In heaven more sweet and loud — 
 
"To Him that cleansed our sins
 
By His atoning blood;
 
To Him," we sing in joyful strain,
 
"Be honor, power and praise, Amen."
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” (Revelation 1:5-6)
2
Alone He bare the cross,
 
Alone its grief sustained;
 
His was the shame and loss,
 
And He the victory gained;
 
The mighty work was all His own,
 
Though we shall share His glorious throne.
