Our Ears Have Heard

Verse 1

Our ears have heard, O glorious God, What work You did of old, And how the heathen felt Your rod, Our father's oft have told.

Verse 2

You had a favor to the seed; Which sprang of Jacob's line, And still on man before decreed, That love electing shine.

Verse 3

From grace alone their strength shall spring, Not bow nor sword can save; To God alone their LORD and King, Shall all their banners wave.

Verse 4

Awake, O LORD, of Thine elect, Achieve Thy great design; Thy saints from Thee alone expect, Salvation's light to shine.

Verse 5

In Thee alone we make our boasts And glory all day long; Arise at once, our Lord of hosts, And fill our mouth with song.
