Refrain: You ought to sing to the Lamb Who has washed us in His blood; He’s our Lord and our King; To His name you ought to sing. 2 Jesus came our sorrows and our griefs to bear, What love divine, oh, praise His name; He says, “Cast on Me all thy load of care,” Then praise to Him you ought to sing. [Refrain] 3 Sinner, come to Jesus and be saved today, His blood can cleanse the crimson stain; He’s ready to wash all your sins away; Then praise to Him you ought to sing. [Refrain] 4 If you will be faithful through this pilgrim land, And live to glorify His name, You’ll find a sweet welcome at His right hand; Then praise to Him you ought to sing.
