We Shall Render Praise (Wash Away Our Stains)

In vain we lavish out our lives To gather empty goals;

The choicest blessings earth can yield Will starve a hungry soul.

Our God will every want supply, And fill our hearts with peace;

The oaths of his new covenant  Riches of grace release.

Come, and he'll cleanse our soiled souls, And wash away our stains

In the dear fountain that his Son Poured from his dying veins.

We Shall Render Praise

We Shall Render Praise

Lord, as you wash away our stains

We Shall Render Praise

Our guilt shall vanish all away, Though black as hell before;

Our sins shall sink beneath the sea, And shall be found no more.

And, lest the darkness should o'erspread Our inward powers again,

His Spirit shall bedew our souls, Like purifying rain.

Come, and he'll cleanse our soiled souls, And wash away our stains

In the dear fountain that his Son Poured from his dying veins.

We Shall Render Praise

We Shall Render Praise

Lord, as you wash away our stains

We Shall Render Praise

There shall his sacred Spirit dwell, And deep engrave his law,

And every motion of our souls To swift obedience draw.

Thus will he pour salvation down, And we shall render praise;

We the dear people of his love, And he our God of grace.

We Shall Render Praise

We Shall Render Praise

Lord, as you wash away our stains

We Shall Render Praise!

Isa. 55:1,2; Zech. 13:1; Mic. 7:19; Ezek. 36:25
