Let Us Love, and Sing, and Wonder

Words: John Newton · Music: The Evangelical Hymnal, 1880, Darmstadt Gesangbuch, 1698 · 1774

Verse 1
Let us love, and sing, and wonder;
let us praise the Savior's name!
He has hushed the law's loud thunder;
he has quenched Mount Sinai's flame;
he has washed us with his blood;
he has brought us nigh to God.

Verse 2
Let us love the Lord who bought us,
pitied us when enemies,
called us by his grace and taught us,
gave us ears and gave us eyes;
he has washed us with his blood;
he presents our souls to God.

Verse 3
Let us sing, though fierce temptation
threaten hard to bear us down!
For the Lord, our strong salvation,
holds in view the conqu'ror's crown;
he who washed us with his blood
soon will bring us home to God.

Verse 4
Let us wonder; grace and justice
join, and point to mercy's store;
when through grace in Christ our trust is,
justice smiles and asks no more;
he who washed us with his blood
has secured our way to God.

Verse 5
Let us praise, and join the chorus
of the saints enthroned on high;
here they trusted him before us;
now their praises fill the sky:
"Thou hast washed us with thy blood;
thou art worthy, Lamb of God!"
