The New Song (Pierson)

lyricist: Arthur Pierson, 1874
Composer: Philip Bliss

With harps and with vi­ols

There stand a great throng

In the pre­sence of Je­sus

And sing this new song:

Unto Him who hath loved us

And washed us from sin

Unto Him be the glo­ry for­ev­er

Amen.

All these once were sin­ners

Defiled in His sight

Now ar­rayed in pure gar­ments

In praise they unite:

He mak­eth the re­bel

A priest and a king

He hath bought us and taught us

This new song to sing:

How help­less and hope­less

We sin­ners had been

If He nev­er had loved us

Till cleansed from our sin:

Aloud in His prais­es

Our voic­es shall ring

So that oth­ers be­liev­ing

This new song shall sing:
