O Jesus Lord, we come to Thee,
|
|
| 1. | O Jesus Lord, we come to Thee, |
| | Thy presence to enjoy; |
| | Our entrance now with boldness is, |
| | As we Thy blood employ. |
| | Not by our merit do we stand, |
| | Nor in our righteousness, |
| | Thy blood and righteousness we need; |
| | Their worth we now confess. |
| 2. | Thy judgments, Lord, we must admit, |
| | Are holy, righteous, fair. |
| | We own our sins as crimson are, |
| | We've no excuse to bear. |
| | We have no argument, no plea; |
| | No veil our sin can hide. |
| | But, praise Thee, Lord, Thy precious blood |
| | Is to our sin applied! |
| 3. | God has not overlooked our sin, |
| | But judged it once for all; |
| | His righteous fury, not on us, |
| | But on His Lamb did fall. |
| | A new and living way is made- |
| | We stand on legal ground; |
| | Our Surety and our Substitue |
| | Has pardon for us found. |
| 4. | O Jesus Lord, we worship Thee, |
| | Redemption now enjoy; |
| | Thy precious blood again we see, |
| | Its virtue now employ. |
| | Dear Lord, Thy mercy is so vast, |
| | Unlimited and free. |
| | Oh, Lamb of God, we'll sing Thy praise, |
| | Through all eternity! |
