LyicsTo our Redeemer's glorious name,
Awake the sacred song;
O may his love (immortal flame!)
Tune ev'ry heart and tongue.
His love, what mortal thought can reach,
What mortal tongue display?
Imagination's utmost stretch
In wonder dies away.
He left his radiant throne on high -
Left the bright realms of bliss;
And came to earth to bleed and die:
Was ever love like this?
Dear Lord, while we adoring pay
Our humble thanks to thee,
May ev'ry heart with rapture say,
"The Saviour died for me."
O may the sweet, the blissful theme,
Fill ev'ry heart and tongue,
Till strangers love thy charming name,
And join the sacred song.
