What joyful thoughts does heaven bring
Where righteous ones will worship Thee
No sadness, fear, or suffering
But joyful cries to the King of Kings
What sacrifice the Father made
To crush the Son who bore our shame
Yet raised Him up that glorious day
To give us hope and a holy name
O praise the Lamb, for sinners slain
Who wrote with blood our eternal praise
Let the nations of the earth proclaim, "Hallelujah!"
O praise the name of Jesus
Our song forever shall be
Let the anthem of salvation
Be the song that we shall sing
What deepened wounds have saved our souls
What blood that washed our sins of old
What precious hands have ransomed men
And brought us to Himself again
What hope is in our heavenly home
Where we will bow at our Father's throne
And walk with Him on streets of gold
And kiss the Christ we long to hold
O praise the Lamb, for sinners slain
Who wrote with blood our eternal praise
Let the nations of the earth proclaim, "Hallelujah!"
O praise the name of Jesus
Our song forever shall be
Let the anthem of salvation
Be the song that we shall sing
Behold the city of the King, hallelujah
His glory is the air we breathe, hallelujah
Behold the city of the King, hallelujah
His glory is the air we breathe, hallelujah
O praise the name of Jesus
Our song forever shall be
Let the anthem of salvation
Be the song that we shall sing
O praise the name of Jesus
Our song forever shall be
Let the anthem of salvation
Be the song that we shall sing
O praise the name of Jesus
Our song forever shall be
Let the anthem of salvation
Be the song that we shall sing
