That bids our sorrows cease;
'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
'Tis life, and health, and peace.

4 He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood avails for me.

5 Look unto Him, ye nations; own
Your God, ye fallen race;
Look, and be saved through faith alone
Be justified by grace.

Look, and be saved through faith alone
Be justified by grace.

The Lamb of God was slain:
His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man.
The Lamb of God was slain:
His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man.
