For the Family

To — " Angels speak, let??ien give ear."

Young and old, and men and maidens,
Let us sing
Christ our King,
Who His mourners gladdens;
Joyful now in expectation,
We, even we,
Soon shall see
Jesus our salvation.

Truth Himself the word hath spoken:
In His word
Christ the Lord
Gives us now a token;
Bids us steadfastly believe Him,
Till in love
From above
All who ask receive Him.

W e through sin no longer drooping
Lift our eyes
To the skies,
For the promise hoping:
Jesus comes with all His merit;
Comes to me,
One in Three,
Father, Son, and Spirit.

Conscious of His pardoning power.
We His name
Shall proclaim,
Teach the world to' adore;
Tell what God hath done to bless us,
Us, and all
Them that call
On our loving Jesus.

We who have in Christ found favour,
Christ confess,
Publish peace
Through the common Saviour:
Yes, the Father justified!
Every one
On His Son
Who, like us, relieth.

He who cancell'd our offences,
Man and God,
By His blood
All believers cleanses:
While the Spirit of consolation
Witness bears
In the heirs
Chosen to salvation.
