O Jesus Lord, we come to Thee

O Jesus Lord

we come to Thee

Thy presence to enjoy;

Our entrance now with boldness is

As we Thy blood employ.

Not by our merit do we stand

Nor in our righteousness

Thy blood and righteousness we need;

Their worth we now confess.

Thy judgments

Lord

we must admit

Are holy

righteous

fair.

We own our sins as crimson are

We’ve no excuse to bear.

We’ve no argument

no plea;

No veil our sin can hide.

But

praise Thee

Lord

Thy precious blood

Is to our sin applied!

God has not overlooked our sin

But judged it once for all;

His righteous fury

not on us

But on His Lamb did fall.

A new and living way is made—

We stand on legal ground;

Our Surety and our Substitute

Has pardon for us found.

O Jesus Lord

we worship Thee

Redemption now enjoy;

Thy precious blood again we see

Its virtue now employ.

Dear Lord

Thy mercy is so vast

Unlimited and free.

Oh

Lamb of God

we’ll sing Thy praise

Through all eternity!
