Come, let us praise God's holy name

Verse 1

Come, let us praise God's holy name, And thank him for his love and grace, Who to our help and rescue, came And put an end to our distress.

Verse 2

How greatly were we terrified, When we began to feel the rod; Death threat'ned us on ev'ry side, As the just punishments of god.

Verse 3

We were distress'd on every hand, Involv'd in all the depth of woes; When it appear'd, our guilty land Should be destroy'd by cruel foes.

Verse 4

But thanks be to our gracious Lord; Who freely will our sins forgive; Who gave us not our just reward, But spares us rebels, still to live.

Verse 5

God has restor'd our peace again, O may it never more depart: May we a greater peace obtain: The peace of God within our heart.
