1 Come, let us praise God’s holy name,
And thank Him for His love and grace,
Who to our help and rescue, came
And put an end to our distress.

2 How greatly were we terrified,
When we began to feel the rod;
Death threatened us on every side,
As the just punishments of God.

3 We were distressed on every hand,
Involved in all the depth of woes;
When it appeared, our guilty land
Should be destroyed by cruel foes.

4 But thanks be to our gracious Lord;
Who freely will our sins forgive;
Who gave us not our just reward,
But spares us rebels, still to live.

5 God has restored our peace again,
O may it never more depart:
May we a greater peace obtain:
The peace of God within our heart.
