The Little Sower for Sabbath Schools ‎#140

140. With songs of heartfelt praise

1 With songs of heartfelt praise,
The courts of heav'n resound;
And angel voices raise
A hymn to Jesus crowned.

Chorus:
And hearing this, O shall not we
Send back the echo full and free?
Send back the echo, Send back the echo,
Send back the echo, echo full and free?
Send back the echo, Send back the echo,
Send back the echo full and free?

2 Hear ev'ry blood bought soul,
among the sons of men,
The Lord of life extol,
His goodness tell again. [Chorus]

3 Hear them with praise and prayer,
Adore their righteous King;
Their sins he stoops to bear,
His love they ever sing. [Chorus]

4 Then publish all abroad,
The story ever new;
Send forth the joyful word,
To Gentile and to Jew.

Chorus:
Till all the world, from sea to sea,
Sends back the echo full and free.
