Tune:  New Song  12.12 with refrain
OHT Incipit:  

With harps and with viols there stands a great throng
In the presence of Jesus, and sing this new song:

Unto Him Who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory for ever! Amen.

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

Unto Him Who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory for ever! Amen.

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

Unto Him Who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory for ever! Amen.

How helpless and hopeless we sinners had been,
If He never had loved us till cleansed from our sin!

Unto Him Who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory for ever! Amen.

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

Unto Him Who hath loved us and washed us from sin,
Unto Him be the glory for ever! Amen.
