[The people of God]
Let them give thanks whom the Lord, &c.
—cvii. 2.
The people of God,
Jehovah we praise
As bought by His blood,
And saved by His grace;
Who daily delivers
And ransoms His own,
And waters with rivers
Of life from His throne.
Jehovah we praise
As bought by His blood,
And saved by His grace;
Who daily delivers
And ransoms His own,
And waters with rivers
Of life from His throne.
Redeem'd from the foe,
We Jesus proclaim,
And triumph to know
The power of His name.
Preserved from all evil,
Through God the most high,
The world, and the devil,
And sin we defy.
We Jesus proclaim,
And triumph to know
The power of His name.
Preserved from all evil,
Through God the most high,
The world, and the devil,
And sin we defy.
Much more than our sin
His grace doth abound;
His kingdom within
Our bosom is found:
His blood's application
The blessing imparts,
The inward salvation,
And hallows our hearts.
His grace doth abound;
His kingdom within
Our bosom is found:
His blood's application
The blessing imparts,
The inward salvation,
And hallows our hearts.
Triumphing we go
To triumph again,
Till death, the last foe,
By Jesus is slain:
His death shall release us,
Call'd out of our graves,
To witness that Jesus
Eternally saves.
To triumph again,
325
By Jesus is slain:
His death shall release us,
Call'd out of our graves,
To witness that Jesus
Eternally saves.
