And are we now brought near to God

From Oremus Hymnal

And are we now brought near to God,
who once at distance stood?
And, to effect this glorious change,
did Jesus shed his blood?

О for a song of ardent praise,
to bear our souls above!
What should allay our lively hope,
or damp our flaming live?

Then let us join the heavenly choirs,
to praise our heavenly King!
0 may that love which spread this board,
inspire us while we sing;

"Glory to God in highest strains,
and to the earth be peace;
Good-will from heaven to men is соше,
and let it never cease."
