We sing as in those earliest days

Verse 1
We sing as in those earliest days,
That rapt’rous infancy of grace,
When first we felt the sprinkled blood,
Exulting out of Egypt came,
And shouting our Redeemer’s name,
Triumphant pass’d the parted flood:

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,
Tread down the fear of hell and death,
And live on earth the life of heaven.
