“Praise ye the Lord!” again, again.
The Spirit strikes the chord;
Nor toucheth He our hearts in vain;
We praise, we praise the Lord.
“Rejoice in Him!” again, again,
The Spirit speaks the word;
And faith takes up the happy strain,
Our joy is in the Lord.
“Stand fast in Christ!” ah! yet again
He teaches all the band;
Our best endeavours are in vain,
In Christ alone we stand.
“Clean every whit!”
Thou saidst it, Lord;
Shall one suspicion lurk?
Thine, surely, is a faithful word,
And Thine a finished work.
For ever be the glory given
To Thee, O Lamb of God!
No joy for us, in earth or heaven,
We owe not to Thy blood.
---Alternative verses---
"Stand fast in Christ;" ah! yet again
He teacheth all the band;
If human efforts are in vain,
In Christ it is we stand.
For ever be the glory given
To Thee, O Lamb of God!
Our every joy on earth, in heaven,
We owe it to Thy blood.
