Salvation, Gratefully Commemorated

Verse 1

With Angels join t' adore the name Of him that bled and died, And all his boundless grace proclaim, Who justice satisfied.

Verse 2

What sorrows and what smarting pain, With agonies unknown, The blest Redeemer once sustain'd, For crimes, but not his own!

Verse 3

His blood, the balm for all our grief, The mourning sinner's ease; His blood alone is our relief, And man from vengeance frees.

Verse 4

Ye saints extol the heav'nly Lamb, Who yielded up his breath, To free us from the wrath divine, And everlasting death.

Verse 5

Oh, when shall we that Saviour see, Whom here by faith we love; And praise him to eternity, Around his throne above!
