O come, let us sing to the God of salvation!

To Jesus our King who hath brought consolation,

Who in His own body hath opened a fountain

To cleanse our transgressions, tho’ high as a mountain!

Hallelujah to the Lamb who hath bought us a pardon;

We’ll praise Him again when we’ve passed over Jordan!

Though we are deprav’d, though with sin we are burdened,

Our souls may be saved, and our sins may be pardoned;

For Jesus, our Saviour, hath promised to bless us,

And free us for ever from those that oppress us.

Hallelujah, &c.

The hour may be nigh when our bosoms, faint heaving,

Shall breathe their last sigh in the peace of believing;

And Thou from our pillow all darkness dispelling,

Wilt calm the rude billow of Jordan’s proud swelling.

Hallelujah, &c.
