Verse 1
All thanks to the Lamb who gives us to meet!
His love we proclaim, his praises repeat:
We own him our Jesus continually near,
To pardon, and bless us, and perfect us here.

Verse 2
In him we have peace, in him we have power,
Preserv’d by his grace throughout the dark hour,
In all our temptation he keeps us, to prove
His utmost salvation, his fulness of love.

Verse 3
Thro’ pride and desire unhurt we have gone,
Thro’ water and fire with us he went on;
The world and the devil by him we o’ercame,
Our Jesus from evil, forever the same.

Verse 4
When we would have spurn’d his mercy and grace,
To Egypt return’d, and fled from his face,
He hindred our flying, (his goodness to shew)
And stopt us by crying, “Will ye also go?”

Verse 5
Oh! What shall we do, our Saviour to love?
To make us anew, come, Lord, from above,
The fruit of thy passion, thy holiness give,
Give us the salvation of all that believe.

Verse 6
Come, Jesus, and loose the stammerer’s tongue,
And teach even us the spiritual song,
Let us without ceasing give thanks for thy grace,
And glory, and blessing, and honour, and praise.

Verse 7
Pronounce the glad word, and bid us be free:
Ah! Hast thou not, Lord, a blessing for me?
The peace thou hast given, this moment impart,
And open thy heaven, O love, in my heart.
