Verse 1
Brethren, let us join to bless
Jesus Christ our joy and peace;
Him, who bowed His head so low
Underneath our load of woe.
Verse 2
His the curse, the wounds, the gall,
His the stripes—He bore them all;
His the dying cry of pain
When our sins He did sustain.
Verse 3
He, the accepted Sacrifice,
From the vanquished grave did rise;
Free Himself, He set us free
In His perfect liberty.
Verse 4
Ransomed now, accepted, free,
Safe from judgment, Lord, in Thee.
We rejoice that God can bless
All who do Thy name confess.
Verse 5
Praise our God who willed it thus;
Praise the Lamb who died for us;
Praise the Father, through the Son,
Who so vast a work hath done.
