Prepare a thank­ful song
To our Re­deem­er’s name!
His prais­es should em­ploy each tongue
And ev­ery heart in­flame!

He laid His glo­ry by,
And dread­ful pains en­dured;
That re­bels, such as you and I,
From wrath might be se­cured.

Upon the cross He died,
Our debt of sin to pay;
The blood and wa­ter from His side
Wash guilt and filth away.

And now He plead­ing stands
For us, be­fore the throne;
And an­swers all the Law’s de­mands,
With what Him­self hath done.

He sees us, will­ing slaves
To sin, and Sa­tan’s pow­er;
But, with an out­stretched arm, He saves,
In His ap­point­ed hour.

The Ho­ly Ghost He sends
Our stub­born souls to move;
To make His ene­mies His friends,
And con­quer them by love.

The love of sin de­parts,
The life of grace takes place,
Soon as His voice in­vites our hearts
To rise and seek His face.

The world and Sa­tan rage,
But He their pow­er con­trols;
His wis­dom, love, and truth, en­gage
Protection for our souls.

Tho’ pressed, we will not yield,
But shall pre­vail at length,
For Je­sus is our sun and shield,
Our right­eous­ness and strength.

Assured that Christ our king,
Will put our foes to flight;
We, on the field of bat­tle, sing
And tri­umph, while we fight.
