{{Text|English| | |||
Let us love, and sing, and wonder, | |||
Let us praise the Savior’s name! | |||
He has hushed the Law’s loud thunder, | |||
He has quenched mount Sinai’s flame: | |||
:He has washed us with his blood, | |||
:He has brought us nigh to God. | |||
Let us love the Lord who bought us, | |||
Pitied us when enemies; | |||
Called us by his grace, and taught us, | |||
Gave us ears, and gave us eyes: | |||
:He has washed us with his blood, | |||
:He presents our souls to God.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
Let us sing though fierce temptations | |||
Threaten hard to bear us down | |||
For the Lord, our strong salvation, | |||
Holds in view the conquerors crown: | |||
:He who washed us with his blood, | |||
:Soon will bring us home to God. | |||
Let us wonder, grace and justice, | |||
Join and point to mercy’s store; | |||
When through grace in Christ our trust is, | |||
Justice smiles; and asks no more: | |||
:He who washed us with his blood, | |||
:Has secured our way to God.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
Let us praise, and join the chorus | |||
Of the saints, enthroned on high; | |||
Here they trusted him before us, | |||
Now their praises fill the sky: | |||
:“Thou hast washed us with thy blood, | |||
:Thou art worthy, Lamb of God!” | |||
Hark! the name of Jesus, sounded | |||
Loud, from golden harps above! | |||
Lord, we blush, and are confounded, | |||
Faint our praises, cold our love! | |||
:Wash our souls and songs with blood, | |||
:For by thee we come to God.}} | |||
