English Christian songs

1.With harps and with viols, there stand a great throng
In the presence of Jesus, and sing this new song:

Refrain:
Unto him who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
Unto him be the glory for ever. Amen.

2.All these once were sinners, defiled in his sight,
Now arrayed in pure garments in praise they unite:

3.He maketh the rebel a priest and a king,
He hath bought us and taught us this new song to sing:

4.How helpless and hopeless we sinners had been,
If he never had loved us till cleansed from our sin:

5.Aloud in his praises our voices shall ring,
So that others believing, this new song shall sing:

1 To God be the glory! Great things He has done!
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son;
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life-gate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
Come to the Father, through Jesus the Son:
Give Him the glory! Great things He has done!

2 O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood!
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

3 Great things He has taught us, great things He has done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be;
Our wonder, our worship, when Jesus we see.
