Songs of the Saved

“God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet… God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding” (Psalm 47:5,7).  “The knowledge of the Holy is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10).  “I will pour… the Spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced” (Zechariah 12:10).  “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us” (1 Corinthians 5:7). 

Our God has gone up with a shout;
Behold Him risen from the grave! 
This world’s prince has been cast out,
And Jesus Christ alone can save!

Our God is King of all the earth,
The long-awaited virgin’s Seed. 
O come, proclaim our Savior’s worth,
And see the captives He has freed! 

Arise and sing with understanding
The praise of our triumphant King!
The lame shall leap at His commanding!
The deaf shall hear!  The dumb shall sing!

We sing with knowledge of the Holy,
For understanding here begins. 
Behold our Savior, meek and lowly,
Who died to cleanse us from our sins! 

It was for holiness He died,
To meet for us the Law’s demands. 
Behold our Savior crucified! 
Behold His feet, His side, His hands! 

We cannot comprehend in full
The depths of sorrow that He saw
That He might thus redeem our soul
And satisfy His holy Law! 

We see Him pierced for what we did;
The Lamb of God for us was slain.
Our sins from Him could not be hid;
Our thoughts, our words, and deeds were plain. 

We sing with understanding now
To Jesus Christ enthroned above
As at His feet we lowly bow
To thank Him for undying love! 

O Lord, our great Passover Lamb,
The King of glory evermore,
Eternal God, the great I AM,
Our hearts are full as we adore.   

O Lord, receive our adoration,
With songs that better understand
The magnitude of Your salvation
And mercy of Your guiding hand.
