Verse 1
We sing as in those earliest days, (Hosea 2:15)
That rapt’rous infancy of grace,
When first we felt the sprinkled blood, (Ex. 12:13-14, Heb. 11:28, Heb. 12:24, I Pet. 1:2)
Exulting out of Egypt came, (Hosea 2:15, Ex. 12:51, Ex. 13:3, Ex. 15:1)
And shouting our Redeemer’s name,
Triumphant pass’d the parted flood: (Ex. 14:21-22, I Cor. 10:1-2, Heb. 11:29)
Verse 2
Jesus the Lord again we sing,
Who did to us salvation bring,
And now repeats our sins forgiven;
We now his glorious Spirit breathe, (John 20:22)
Tread down the fear of hell and death, (Heb. 2:14-15)
And live on earth the life of heaven. (Eph. 2:6, Col. 3:1-3)
