Lyics

OUR Saviour bow'd beneath the wave,

And meekly sought a wat'ry grave;

Come, see the sacred place He trod,

A path well-pleasing to our God.



His voice we hear, His footsteps trace,

And hither come to seek His face;

To do His will, to feel His love,

And join our songs with songs above.



Hosanna to the Lamb divine!

Let endless glories round Him shine!

High o'er the heav'ns forever reign,

O Lamb of God! for sinners slain.
