Harmony by Jeremiah Ingalls — Lyrics
Smith and Sleeper. 1794. Divine Hymns
1. Come, brethren and sisters that love my dear Lord,
I pray give attention and ear to my word;
What a wonder of mercy! behold now I see,
What a tender kind Savior has done for poor me.
2. I was led by the devil 'til lost and distressed,
I thought that in torments I soon would be cast;
No peace to the wicked but all misery,
'Till by faith I saw Jesus hang bleeding for me.
3. Oh sinner, said Jesus, for you I have died,
All glory to Jesus, my soul then replied:
The guilt was removed, my soul did rejoice,
The blood was applied, the witness and voice.

About Harmony
This simple yet profound American sacred song invites listeners to contemplate the wonder of mercy and the transformative power of faith. The text speaks of a journey from distress and spiritual lostness to finding peace and salvation through Jesus. It recounts a personal experience of divine intervention, where the singer, once led astray, is ultimately redeemed by the "tender kind Savior." The STB voicing is well-suited to congregational singing or smaller church choirs, offering a clear and accessible musical setting for this heartfelt expression of gratitude and devotion.
