(\'Hark a herald (or thrilling) voice is sounding\')
Romans 15 v.9-13
********
Jews and Gentiles in the gospel
Nations may partake free, all
Gentiles too included, that they
Glorify God, His mercy
For there be Scriptures so written
And they did prophesy then
Such as, \"For this cause I confess
You, Lord, midst Gentiles, them bless\" (1)
Confess, sing to your name among
The Gentiles, let praise be sung
And, \"Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles
All people His lauding tell\" (2)
And Isiaah says, \"There shall be
A root of Jesse, and He
A descendant of David be
Shall rise, rule o\'er Gentiles, see\" (3)
And in Him shall the Gentiles trust
Though Jews, Gentiles, made from dust
And now the God of hope fill you
With all joy and peace anew
All joy and peace in believing
That you may here, receiving
Abound in hope through the power
Of the Spirit every hour
