With harps and with viols there stands a great throng
In the presence of Jesus, and sings this new song:
Unto Him who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory for ever. Amen.
All these once were sinners, defiled in His sight,
Now arrayed in pure garments in praise they unite:
Unto Him who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory for ever. Amen.
He maketh the rebel a priest and a king,
He hath bought us and taught us this new song to sing:
Unto Him who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory for ever. Amen.
How helpless and hopeless we sinners had been,
If He never had loved us till cleansed from our sin:
Unto Him who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory for ever. Amen.
Aloud in His praises our voices shall ring,
So that others, believing, this new song shall sing:
Unto Him who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory for ever. Amen.
BIBLE PASSAGE:
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
