100. Let All Who Know the Joyful Sound
8.8.6.D.
1
Let all who know the joyful sound,
With gladness send the tidings round,
And tell that God is love;
That God so loved the world, He gave
His own dear Son the world to save;
God’s message from above.
2
That all who in the Son believe,
Shall never perish, but receive
No condemnation e’er shall know,
From death to life they pass below,
3
’Tis not of works: let no man boast,
Save in His name who saves the lost —
The Lord our Righteousness!
Poor sinner, now from working cease,
And claim from God a blood-bought peace,
And Jesus, Lord, confess.
4
Let all who know our God rejoice,
Praise Him in songs with cheerful voice,
Let sinners too take up the strain,
Exalt the Lamb for sinners slain,
5
The Spirit and the bride say, Come!
Let him that heareth, too, say, Come!
Whoever thirsts may come;
Water of life is freely given
Till Christ the Lord descends from heaven;
Lord Jesus, quickly come!
