Melody,—Nothing but the Precious Blood.” The melody is also known as “I am now a child of God,” in “Later Songs and Solos.”
O this world of sin and woe
Came the Savior, long ago,
The Eternal Word, the Father's only Son.
He became a child of days,
Unto God's eternal praise.
He hath suffered, and His mighty work
is done;
He was numbered with the dead,
On the cross His blood was shed.
O adore ye Him in glory!
Set on high, o'er all things Head.
“Jesus," evermore the same!
There is not another name
Under heaven that is given among men,
None whereby we must be saved,
We by sin and death enslaved.
“Jesus" only, who is coming soon again,
The ascended Living One,
Hear Him, God's beloved Son.
O adore ye
Him in glory!
Praise Him! heaven is begun.
All the way is open now;
Glory, honor, crown His brow;
He is seated with His Father in His throne.
O extol His worthy name,
“Jesus," evermore the same.
He is coming from that glory for His own.
Sing “His precious blood was shed,
And He liveth who was dead.”
O adore ye
Him in glory
Christ the Lord, o'er all things Head.
There is yet a brief delay,
And whoe'er will come, he may
Come to Jesus, and for evermore be blest.
Oh, He saith, "Come unto me,”
Saved forever thou shalt be;
Come to me, ye weary, I will give you rest.”
'Tis His voice awakes the dead,
Where His precious blood was shed.
O adore ye
Him in glory!
“Jesus," Savior, Lord, and Head.
