Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #171 (1890) First Line: Now to the Lord, who makes us know Lyrics: 1 Now to the Lord, who makes us know
The wonders of his dying love,
Be humble honors paid below,
And strains of nobler praise above.
2 'Twas he who cleansed our foulest sins,
And washed us in his precious blood;
'Tis he who makes us priest and kings,
And brings us rebels near to God.
3 To Jesus, our atoning Priest,
To Jesus, our eternal King,
Be everlasting power confessed!
Let every tongue his glory sing.
4 Behold! on flying clouds he comes,
And every eye shall see him move;
Though with our sins we pierced him once,
He now displays his pardoning love.
5 The unbelieving world shall wail,
While we rejoice to see the day;
Come, Lord! nor let thy promise fail,
Nor let thy chariot long delay. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ; Christ Priest; Christ Resurrection of; Intercession; Christ Priest; Christ Resurrection of; Intercession Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET
