Come, ye lovers of the Lamb

Verse 1

Come ye Lovers of the Lamb, Praise the great almighty name; To your God your songs begin, To the Lamb your bleeding King.

Verse 2

Jesus, thee we honours give; Live Almighty Jesus, live; Thou hast penn'd our songs with blood, Thee we hail, incarnate God.

Verse 3

We were laden once with sin, But the Lamb hath made us clean; We, who once in darkness lay, Now behold eternal day.

Verse 4

Strangers once and far from God, Now brought home by Jesu's blood, Shining in our wedding dress, In the Lord, our righteousness.

Verse 5

Poor, and low, we once did lie, Full of wants, and sore oppress'd; Jesus now hat rais'd us high, All our Grievances redress'd.

Verse 6

Deeply sinking once in hell, Without hope, and without God; Now our tongues can greatly tell, We are sav'd by Jesu's blood.

Verse 7

Freely we are sav'd by grace, Heart and Hand we this embrace; This below, fills ev'ry tongue This above, is all the song.

Verse 8

Praises still to Christ we sing, Christ our Prophet, Priest, and King; Living waters in us flow, Glory is begun below.
