He for sin who would have slain us,
Now for sons and heirs hath ta’en us.
Well may we this grace and favour
Evermore with blessings tell!
Well may heart and mouth for ever
Hail Thee our Immanuel!
Here in weakness while we stay,
Lord, we praise Thee as we may;
Earthly bonds our tongues here fetter,
But in heaven we’ll praise Thee better.
