Reading edition
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.
