Hymns for a Pilgrim People ‎#76

76. Join All the Glorious Names

1 Join all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love, and pow'r,
That ever mortals knew,
That angels ever bore;
All are too mean to speak His worth,
To 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 sin forgiv’n,
Of hell subdued and peace with heav’n.

3 Be Thou my counselor,
My pattern and my guide;
And through this desert land
Still keep me near Thy side:
O let my feet ne’er run astray,
Nor rove, nor seek the crooked way.

4 My dear almighty Lord,
My Conqueror and King,
Thy scepter and Thy sword,
Thy reigning grace I sing.
Thine is the pow'r; behold I sit
In willing bonds before Thy feet.

Amen.
