Lord, in Love Thou Didst Receive Us

lyricist: From James Kelly’s Collection, 1849
Composer: Lowell Mason, 1840

Lord

in love Thou didst re­ceive us

Ere cre­ation as Thine own.

And that love will nev­er leave us

But will raise us to Thy throne.

Thou wilt come

and we shall meet Thee;

Then the saints whom Thou wilt raise

Will with those re­main­ing greet Thee

Joining in the song of praise.

Then shall we

Thine im­age bear­ing

Know Thee

Lord

as we are known;

With our blood-washed robes

de­clar­ing

What for us Thy death hath done.

Thus we all our joys ex­press­ing

Shall for ev­er praise Thy name

Glory

pow­er

do­min­ion

bless­ing

Be to God and to the Lamb.
