1 Let us love and sing and wonder,
Let us praise the Saviour's name;
He has hush'd the law's loud thunder,
He has quench'd Mount Sinai's flame;
He has wash'd us with his blood,
He has brought us night to GOD.
2 Let us sing, tho' fierce temptation
Threaten hard to bear us down;
For the LORD our strong salvation,
Holds in view the conqu'ror's crown,
He has wash'd us with his blood,
He has brought us night to GOD.
3 Let us wonder, grace and justice
Join and point to mercy's store:
When thro' grace in CHRIST our trust is
Justice smiles and asks no more.
He has wash'd us with his blood,
He has brought us night to GOD.
4 Let us praise and join the chorus
Of the saints enthron'd on high!
Here they trusted him before us,
Now their praises fill the sky.
He has wash'd us with his blood,
He has brought us night to GOD.
5 Yes we praise thee, glorious Saviour;
Wonder, love and bless thy name;
Pardon, LORD, our poor endeavour,
Pity, for thou know'st our frame.
He has wash'd us with his blood,
He has brought us night to GOD.
