163. Join all the glorious names

1 Join all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love, and power,
That mortals ever knew,
That angels ever bore:
All are too mean
To speak His worth;
Too mean to set
My Saviour forth.

2 But, oh, what gentle terms,
What condescending ways,
Doth our Redeemer use
To teach His heavenly grace!
Mine eyes with joy
And wonder see
What forms of love
He bears for me.

3 Array'd in mortal flesh,
He like an angel stands,
And holds the promises
And pardons in His hands;
Commission'd from
His Father's throne,
To make His grace
To mortals known.

4 Great Prophet of my God!
My tongue would bless Thy name:
By Thee the joyful news
Of our salvation came;
The joyful news
Of sin forgiven,
Of hell subdued,
And peace with heaven.
