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