Praising Christ. Rev. 1. 5, 6; 1 Tim. 6. 16
1
Jesus Christ, God’s holy Lamb,
 
We will laud thy lovely name;
 
We were saved by God’s decree,
 
And our debt was paid by thee.
2
Thou hast washed us in thy blood,
 
Made us kings and priests to God;
 
Take this tribute of the poor;
 
Less we can’t, we can’t give more.
3
Souls redeemed, your voices raise,
 
Sing your dear Redeemer’s praise;
 
Worthy thou of love and laud,
 
King of saints, incarnate God.
4
Righteous are thy ways, and true;
 
Endless honours are thy due;
 
Grace and glory in thee shine;
 
Matchless mercy, love divine.
5
We for whom thou once wast slain,
 
We thy ransomed sinner-train,
 
In this one request agree,
 
“Make us more resemble thee.”
