The New Song

With harps and with vials,
There stand a great throng
In the presence of Jesus,
And sing this new song:

Refrain

Unto Him who hath loved us
And washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory forever, Amen.

All these once were sinners,
Defiled in His sight,
Now arrayed in pure garments
In praise they unite:

Refrain

He maketh the rebel
A priest and a king,
He hath bought us and taught us
This new song to sing:

Refrain

How helpless and hopeless
We sinners had been,
If He never had loved us
Till cleansed from our sin:

Refrain

Aloud in His praises
Our voices shall ring,
So that others believing,
This new song shall sing:

Refrain

Unto Him who hath loved us
And washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory forever, Amen.

Words: A.T. Pierson, 1874.
