Verse 1
O joy of the justified, joy of the free!
I'm washed in that crimson tide opened for me;
In Christ, my Redeemer, rejoicing I stand,
And point to the print of the nail in His hand.
Chorus
O sing of His mighty love,
Sing of His mighty love,
Sing of His mighty love,
Mighty to save.
Verse 2
Lord Jesus, the crucified, now Thou art mine;
Though once a lost sinner, yet now I am Thine;
In conscious salvation I sing of His grace
Who lifts now upon me the smile of His face.
Chorus
O sing of His mighty love,
Sing of His mighty love,
Sing of His mighty love,
Mighty to save.
Verse 3
Lord Jesus, my Saviour, I'll still sing of Thee,
Yes, sing of Thy precious blood poured out for me;
And when in the mansions of glory above,
I'll praise and adore Thine unchangeable love.
Chorus
O sing of His mighty love,
Sing of His mighty love,
Sing of His mighty love,
Mighty to save.
