187 Triumph, ye heavens! rejoice ye with high adoration!
1 Triumph, ye heavens! rejoice ye with high adoration!
Sing to the Lord, to the Savior, in glad exultation!
Angels give ear!
God unto men draweth near,
Bringing to lost ones salvation.
2 Triumph, ye heavens! rejoice, O ye nations and wonder!
God and the sinner no power of the devil may sunder.
"Peace and good-will!"
Hark! it is echoing still,
Silencing Sinai's thunder!
3 God in man's nature! O mystery past comprehending!
Now is the temple thrown wide and the incense ascending!
Christ is the way!
We who were once far away,
Now at His footstool are bending.
