LET the redeemed give thanks and praiseBy A Collection of Hymns C.M. 1 LET the redeemed give thanks and praise To a forgiving God! My feeble voice I cannot raise Till washed in Jesu's blood:
2 Till, at thy coming from above, My mountain-sins depart, And fear gives place to filial love, And peace o'erflows my heart. 3 Prisoner of hope, I still attend The appearing of my Lord, These endless doubts and fears to end, And speak my soul restored; 4 Restored by reconciling grace, With present pardon blest, And fitted by true holiness For my eternal rest. 5 The peace which man can ne'er conceive, The love and joy unknown, Now, Father, to thy servant give, And claim me for thine own. 6 My God, in Jesus pacified, My God, thyself declare, And draw me to his open side, And plunge the sinner there.
