When Jesus, our Redeemer, came
To teach us in his Father's name,
His heart with kindness overflowed,
And love in all his actions glowed.
So let our hearts and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works of virtue shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine.

So shall we best the grace display
Of love's subduing, kindling ray;
And feel in truth's celestial birth,

earth

Ye sons of men, with joy record
The wonder-workings of the Lord;
And let his power and goodness sound
To earth's extended, utmost bound.
The radiant heavens the song invite,
In all their realms of living light;
And earth responds with grateful voice
While air and sea in Him rejoice.

But earth and sky, and sea and air,
In hymns of praise will not compare
With holy strains of joy above,
In God's own realm of light and love.
