Come, Let Us Praise God’s Holy Name

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.

How great­ly were we ter­ri­fied

When we be­gan to feel the rod;

Death threat­ened us on ev­ery side

As the just pun­is­hments of God.

We were dis­tressed on ev­ery hand

Involved in all the depth of woes;

When it ap­peared

our guil­ty land

Should be de­stroyed by cru­el foes.

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.

God has re­stored our peace again

O may it nev­er more de­part:

May we a great­er peace ob­tain:

The peace of God with­in our heart.
