Thanksgiving for the Removal of the Cholera from Sheffield, 1832.
Sing Hallelujah; sing Glory to God alone! Bring your oblations, bring Thank-offerings to the throne; Take words of joy, of comfort take, Awake to love, to life awake. | The Lord put forth His hand, He touch'd us and we died; Vengeance went through the land, But mercy walk'd beside; He heard our prayers; He saw our tears, And stay'd the plague, and quell'd our fears. | What shall we give to Thee? O Thou, whose purer eyes Behold iniquity In man's best sacrifice? Ourselves we give, but rest our claim On Christ, and know none other Name. | For Jesus' sake forgive Thy people, Lord, and spare, To Him and Thee to live, For Thine and His we are; Thy quickening Spirit gave us breath, Thy Son, by death, has conquer'd death. | |
