Gospel Echoes

Composer: Robert Staples, 1877

The Gos­pel mes­sage sent—

Is ec­hoed back again

From lips in pray­er and praise

And this the sweet re­frain:

That Je­sus died for me—

Dear Lamb of Cal­va­ry.

The echo from each heart

In an­swer to the call—

Is Here am I

O Lord—

Lo! at Thy feet I fall;

Thou Lamb of Cal­va­ry

I trust alone in Thee.

Its ec­ho­ing strains are heard

From pal­ace and from cot—

From lips of age and youth—

His blood can cleanse each spot;

Dear Lamb of Cal­va­ry

I come

I come to Thee.

Oh

let the Gos­pel sound

In all the land abroad

And send the ec­ho round

In hon­or of our Lord—

The Lamb of Cal­va­ry

Has died to ran­som thee.
