SING, O heavens! the Lord hath done it! Sound it forth o'er land and sea! Jesus says, "I have redeemed thee, Now return, return to Me." Oh, return, for His own life-blood Paid the ransom, made us free Evermore and evermore. For I know that what He doeth Stands forever fixed and true; Nothing can be added to it, Nothing left for us to do; Nothing can be taken from it, Done for me and done for you Evermore and evermore. Listen now! the Lord hath done it! For He loved us unto death; It is finished! He hath saved us! Only trust to what He saith. He hath done it! Come and bless Him, Spend in praise your ransomed breath Evermore and evermore. Oh believe the Lord hath done it! Wherefore linger? wherefore doubt? All the cloud of black transgression He Himself hath blotted out. He hath done it! Come and bless Him, Swell the grand thanksgiving shout Evermore and evermore. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LITTLE FIRE IN THE WOODS by HAYDEN CARRUTH CITY VIGNETTE: DAWN by SARA TEASDALE THE OWL CRITIC by JAMES THOMAS FIELDS THE SKELETON IN ARMOR by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW A CHARACTER by ALFRED TENNYSON |
