 1 

   Join all the glorious names

   Of wisdom, love, and pow'r,

   That mortals ever knew,

   That angels ever bore;

All are too mean to speak His worth,

Too mean to set my Savior forth.

 

 2 

   Great Prophet of my God,

   My tongue would bless Thy name;

   By Thee the joyful news

   Of our salvation came;

The joyful news of sins forgiv'n,

Of death annulled, and Thy life giv'n.

 

 3 

   Jesus, my great High Priest,

   Offered His blood, and died;

   My guilty conscience seeks

   No sacrifice beside:

His pow'rful blood did me redeem,

'Tis worthy of my heart's esteem.

 

 4 

   I love my Shepherd's voice:

   His watchful eye shall keep

   My wand'ring soul among

   The thousands of His sheep:

He feeds His flock, He calls their names,

His bosom bears the tender lambs.

 

 5 

   My Savior and my Lord,

   My Conqu'ror and my King,

   Thy scepter and Thy sword,

   Thy reigning grace I sing:

Thine is the pow'r; behold I sit

In willing bonds beneath Thy feet.
