91. To praise the bleeding lamb

To praise the bleeding Lamb,
Let ev'ry tongue employ,
This Jesus is the angel's theme,
And all the seraph's joy.
This Jesus is the angel's them,
And all, and all the seraph's joy.

He is the sinner's friend,
He is the saint's delight,
Then let our mortal notes ascend,
And with the heav'ns unite.

Tell how to Golgotha,
He travels drest in blood,
He dies to take our guilt away,
And bring us home to God.

O let him be ador'd
by ev'ry heart and tongue,
Ye heirs of bliss by him restor'd,
O make his name your song.

Let crowds, from pole to pole,
Enter his courts of grace,
And cheerful, cheerful join with voice and soul
His well deserved praise, and cheerful join,
With voice and soul.
His well deserved praise.

Ye heav'nly armies join
To sing his bleeding love,
Till we awake by grace divine,
And join,
And join your notes above.
Till we awake by grace divine,
And join
And join your notes above.

There his all worthy name
Shall be our sweet employ,
There we shall sound his glorious praise
In everlasting joy.
There we shall sound his glorious praise
In everlasting joy.
