Representative Text

1 Let sinners saved give thanks and sing,
Salvation's theirs and of the Lord;
They draw from heaven's eternal spring,
The living God, their great reward.

2 Let sinners saved give thanks and sin,
Whom grace has kept in dangers past,
And oh, sweet truth! theLord will bring
His people safe to heaven at last.

3 Let sinners saved give thanks and sing,
Of Jesus sing, through all their days,
In heaven above their harps they'll string,
And there forever sing His praise.
