With praise and thanksgiving there stands a great throng

With praise and thanksgiving there stands a great throng

In the presence of Jesus and sing this new song.

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 us, and taught us this new song to sing.

How helpless and hopeless we sinners had been,

If He never had loved us till cleansed from our sin.

Aloud in His praises our voices shall ring,

So that others, believing, this new song shall sing.
