LyicsNOW to the Lord that made us know
The wonders of his dying love,
Be humble honors paid below,
And strains of nobler praise above.
'Twas he that cleans'd our foulest sins,
And wash'd us in his richest blood;
'Tis he that makes us priests and kings,
And brings us rebels near to God.
To Jesus, our atoning Priest,
To Jesus, our exalted King,
Be everlasting pow'r confess'd,
And ev'ry tongue his glory sing.
Behold, on flying clouds he comes,
And ev'ry eye shall see his face;
Tho' with our sins we pierc'd him once,
He now displays his pard'ning grace.
The unbelieving world shall wail,
While we rejoice to see the day;
Come, Lord! nor let thy promise fail,
Nor let thy chariots long delay.
