Let us love and sing and wonder;
let us praise the Saviour’s name!
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder;
he has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame:
he has freed us by his blood;
he has brought us near to God.
2. Let us love the Lord who bought us,
dying for our rebel race,
called us by his word and taught us
by the Spirit of his grace:
he has freed us by his blood;
he presents our souls to God.
3. Let us sing, though fierce temptation
threatens hard to drag us down;
for the Lord, our strong salvation,
holds in view the conqueror’s crown:
he who freed us by his blood
soon will bring us home to God.
4. Let us wonder; he has suffered—
see what God in Christ has done!
Debts are paid, and mercy offered;
love and justice meet as one:
he who freed us by his blood
has secured our peace with God.
5. Let us praise, and join the chorus
of the saints enthroned on high;
here they trusted him before us—
now their praises fill the sky:
‘You have freed us by your blood,
you are worthy, Lamb of God!’
