Jesus, wondrous Savior!

   Christ, of kings the King!

Angels fall before Thee,

   Prostrate, worshipping;

Fairest they confess Thee

   In the heav'n above.

We would sing Thee fairest

   Here in hymns of love.

 2 

All earth's flowing pleasures

   Were a wintry sea;

Heav'n itself without Thee

   Dark as night would be.

Lamb of God! Thy glory

   Is the light above.

Lamb of God! Thy glory

   Is the life of love.

 3 

Life is death, if severed

   From Thy throbbing heart.

Death with life abundant

   At Thy touch would start.

Worlds and men and angels

   All consist in Thee,

Yet Thou camest to us

   In humility.

 4 

Jesus! All perfections

   Rise and end in Thee;

Brightness of God's glory

   Thou, eternally.

Favored beyond measure

   They Thy face who see;

May we, gracious Savior,

   Share this ecstasy.
