  • Shout!

    Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns;
    Through distant lands his triumphs spread;
    And sinners, freed from endless pains,
    Own Him their Saviour and their Head.

    He calls his chosen from afar,
    They all at Zion's gates arrive;
    Those who were dead in sin before
    By sovereign grace are made alive.

    Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb,
    From all below, and all above!
    In lofty songs exalt his name,
    In songs as lasting as his love.

    Benjamin Beddome, 1769

    The tune for this, Truro, is one of my favorites.  I'm playing this during the prelude tomorrow.
