Millennial Harp 30
Free Grace (continued)
1streams of salvation. Hal-le-lu-jah to the Lamb,Who hath
2pur-chased our pardon, We'll praise him again,When we
3pass o-ver Jordan, We'll praise him again,When we pass over Jordan.
4This fountain so clear,
In which all may find pardon,
From Jesus came down
In plenteous redemption:
Tho' your sins they were raised
As high as a mountain,
The blood it flows freely
From Jesus, the fountain.
Hallelujah, &c.
5O Jesus! ride on,
Thy kingdom is glorious,
Over sin, death and hell
Thou wilt make us victorious,
Thy name shall be praised
In the great congregation,
And saints shall delight
Ascribing salvation.
Hallelujah, &c.
6When on Zion we stand,
Having gain'd the blest shore
With our harps in our hands
We will praise him evermore,
We will range the blest fields
On the banks of the river,
And sing hallelujahs
For ever and ever.
Hallelujah, &c.
