The Same.
1Hark! the voice of choral song
Floats upon the breeze along,
Chanting clear, in solemn lays,--
"Man redeemed--to God the praise!"
2Angels, strike the golden lyre!
Mortals, catch the heavenly fire!
Thousands ransomed from the grave,
Millions yet our pledge shall save!
3Save from sin's destructive breath,
Save from sorrow, shame and death--
From intemperance and strife,
Save the husband, children, wife!
4Courage! let no heart despair--
Mighty is the truth we bear!
Forward then, baptized in love,
Led by wisdom from above!
