With joy and with gladness there stand a great throng,
In the presence of Jesus, and sing this new song:

  Unto Him who hath loved us and washed us from sins,
  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.

He maketh the rebel a priest and a king;
He hath bought him and taught him this new song to sing:

How helpless and hopeless poor sinners had been,
If He never had loved them till cleansed from their sins.

Aloud in His praises their voices shall ring,
So that others believing, this new song shall sing.
