Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder

Praise for redeeming love by John Newton


 * 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.


 * Let us sing, though fierce temptation
 * Threaten hard to bear us down!
 * For the Lord, our strong Salvation,
 * Holds in view the conqueror’s 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.


 * 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:
 * “You have washed us with Your blood;
 * You are 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.
