Oh Praise the Lord, the Lamb of God


On Calv'ry's hill God's plan fulfilled,

The Lamb Christ Jesus died;

His mission was accomplished,

"It is finished" was His cry.


Oh Praise the Lord, the Lamb of God

Who for our sins was slain!

Not one of them for whom He died

In bondage will remain!


God chose before the world began

A people for His own;

Eternal council purposed

That their sins Christ would atone.


Oh Praise the Lord, the Lamb of God!

Redemption has been won!

Not one of them for whom He died

Will not be His own son!


The debt that all the chosen owe –

For we God's law forsook –

Was paid in full by Jesus;

All our punishment He took.


Oh Praise the Lord, the Lamb of God,

Redeeming sheep who fell!

Not one of them for whom He died

Will taste the fires of hell!


There now no condemnation is

For those who are in Christ;

Our sins He blotted fully out

When Himself He sacrificed.


Oh Praise the Lord, the Lamb of God!

His death has set us free!

And everyone for whom He died

Will live eternally!
