Now Begin the Heavenly Theme { Now Begin the Heavenly Theme VIENNA-Justin Heinrich Knecht HENDON-Henri Abraham Cesar Malan PLEYEL'S HYMN-Ignace J. Pleyel Now Begin the Heavenly Theme } Now begin the heavenly theme, Sing aloud in Jesus' name; Ye, who His salvation prove, Triumph in redeeming love. Ye, who see the Father's grace Beaming in the Saviour's face, As to Canaan on ye move, Praise and bless redeeming love. Mourning souls, dry up your tears, Banish all your guilty fears; See your guilt and curse remove, Cancelled by redeeming love. Ye, alas! who long have been Willing slaves to death and sin, Now from bliss no longer rove, Stop and taste redeeming love. Welcome, all, by sin oppressed, Welcome to His sacred rest; Nothing brought Him from above, Nothing but redeeming love. When His spirit leads us home, When we to His glory come, We shall all the fulness prove Of our Lord's redeeming love.
