95: BREAK forth and sing the song

95: BREAK forth and sing the song

by I Watts (1674-1748)

1 BREAK forth and sing the song
Of glory to the Lamb;
Wake every heart and every tongue,
To praise the Saviour's name.

2 Sing of His dying love;
Sing of His rising power;
Sing how He intercedes above
For those whose sins He bore.

3 Sing on your heavenly road,
Ye sons of glory, sing;
To the ascended Lamb of God,
Your cheerful praises bring.

4 Soon shall we hear Him say,
"Ye ransomed pilgrims, come;"
Soon will He call us hence away,
And take us to His home.

5 Then shall each raptured tongue
His fullest praise proclaim;
And sweeter voices wake the song
Of glory to the Lamb.
