[Let all our tongues be one
To praise our God on high,
Who from his bosom sent his Son
To fetch us strangers nigh.
|
|
Nor let our voices cease
To sing the Savior's name;
Jesus, th' ambassador of peace,
How cheerfully he came!
|
|
It cost him cries and tears
To bring us near to God;
Great was our debt, and he appears
To make the payment good.]
|
|
[My Savior's pierced side
Poured out a double flood;
By water we are purified,
And pardoned by the blood.
|
|
Infinite was our guilt,
But he, our Priest, atones;
On the cold ground his life was spilt,
And offered with his groans.]
|
|
Look up, my soul, to him
Whose death was thy desert,
And humbly view the living stream
Flow from his breaking heart.
|
|
There, on the cursed tree,
In dying pangs he lies,
Fulfils his Father's great decree,
And all our wants supplies.
|
|
Thus the Redeemer came
By water and by blood;
And when the Spirit speaks the same,
We feel his witness good.
|
|
While the eternal Three
Bear their record above,
Here I believe he died for me,
And seal my Savior's love.
|
|
[Lord, cleanse my soul from sin
Nor let thy grace depart;
Great Comforter, abide within,
And witness to my heart.]
