The words
Stanza 1. Let us love, and sing, and wonder,Let us praise the Savior’s name!He has hushed the Law’s loud thunder,He has quenched mount Sinai’s flame:He has washed us with his blood,He has brought us nigh to God.
Stanza 2. Let us love the Lord who bought us,Pitied us when enemies;Called us by his grace, and taught us,Gave us ears, and gave us eyes:He has washed us with his blood,He presents our souls to God.
Stanza 3. Let us sing though fierce temptationsThreaten hard to hear us downFor the Lord, our strong salvation,Holds in view the conqu’rors crown:He who washed us with his blood,Soon will bring us home to GOD.
Stanza 4. Let us wonder, grace and justice,Join and point to mercy’s store;When through grace in CHRIST our trust is,Justice smiles; and asks no more:He who washed us with his blood,Has secured our way to God.
Stanza 5. Let us praise, and join the chorusOf the saints, enthroned on high;Here they trusted him before us,Now their praises fill the sky:“Thou hast washed us with thy blood,Thou art worthy, Lamb of GOD!”
Stanza 6. Hark! the name of JESUS, soundedLoud, from golden harps above!LORD, we blush, and are confounded,Faint our praises, cold our love!Wash our souls and songs with blood,For by thee we come to GOD.
