JESU We hide ourselves in Thee; God looks upon Thy sprinkled blood,— He hears Thy precious name, 3 He sees Thy spotless robe, The golden gates have welcomed Thee, 4 Thou hast fulfilled the law, And we are justified: Ours is the blessing, Thine the curse; 5 Jesus, the sinner's Friend! We cannot speak Thy praise! No mortal voice can sing the song That ransomed hearts would raise. 6 But when before the throne Upon the glassy sea, Clothed in our blood-bought robes of white, 7 Jesus, we'll give Thee then Such praises as are meet, And cast ten thousand golden crowns, Adoring, at Thy feet!
