Let All Our Tongues Be One

Let all our tongues be one

To praise our God on high

Who from His bo­som sent His Son

To fetch us strang­ers nigh.

Nor let our voic­es cease

To sing the Sav­ior’s name;

Jesus

th’Am­bas­sa­dor of peace

How cheer­ful­ly He came.

It cost Him cries and tears

To bring us near to God;

Great was our debt

and He ap­pears

To make the pay­ment good.

My Sav­ior’s pierc­èd side

Poured out a dou­ble flood;

By wa­ter we are pu­ri­fied

And par­doned by the blood.

How in­fi­nite our guilt

But He

our priest

atones;

On hard

cold ground His life was spilt

And of­fered with His groans.

Look up

my soul

to Him

Whose death was thy de­sert

And hum­bly view the liv­ing stream

Flow from His break­ing heart.

There

on the curs­èd tree

In dy­ing pangs He lies

Fulfills His Fa­ther’s great de­cree

And all our wants sup­plies.

Thus the Re­deem­er came

By wa­ter and by blood;

And when the Spir­it speaks the same

We feel His wit­ness good.

While the eter­nal Three

Bear re­cord up ab­ove

Here I be­lieve He died for me

And seal my Sav­ior’s love.

Lord

cleanse my soul from sin

Nor let Thy grace de­part;

Great Com­fort­er

abide with­in

And wit­ness to my heart.
