Let us love and sing and wonder

"Let us love and sing and wonder" is a stirring hymn of praise that draws the congregation into a deep reflection on redemption. With words originally penned by John Newton, the verses walk us through the awe of salvation—from the quenching of Mount Sinai's fiery law to the quiet assurance of grace. It is a piece that builds steadily, verse by verse, reminding us of the price paid for our freedom.

For a choir, this arrangement offers a steady, marching rhythm that anchors the voices together. The repeated refrain at the end of each stanza—meditating on how Christ has washed us with His blood—makes it a powerful choice for Communion or seasons like Lent and Eastertide. By the time the choir reaches the final verse, joining the "chorus of the saints enthroned on high," the addition of a soaring descant lifts the entire church in a triumphant declaration: "You are worthy, Lamb of God!"
