Lyics

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.



'Twas he who cleansed us from our sins,

And washed us in his precious blood;

'Tis he who makes us priests and kings,

And brings us, rebels, near to God.
