Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11878 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 Savior’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 Savior’s piercèd side
Poured out a double flood;
By water we are purified,
And pardoned by the blood.
5 How infinite our guilt,
But He, our priest, atones;
On hard, cold ground His life was spilt,
And offered 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 cursèd tree,
In dying pangs He lies,
Fulfills 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 record up above,
Here I believe He died for me,
And seal my Savior’s love.
10 Lord, cleanse my soul from sin
Nor let Thy grace depart;
Great Comforter, abide within,
And witness to my heart.
