CDLXXXVIII. Praise to the Redeemer

1 To our redeemer's glorious name,
Awake the sacred song!
O may his love, (immortal flame!)
Tune every heart and tongue.

2 His love, what mortal thought can reach?
What mortal tongue display?
Imagination's utmost stretch
In wonder dies away.

3 He left his radient throne on high,
Left the bright realms of bliss,
And came to earth to bleed and die!—
Was ever love like this!

4 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay
Our humble thanks to thee;
May every heart with rapture say,
"The savior dy'd for me."

5 O may the sweet, the blissful theme,
Fill every heart and tongue;
Till strangers love thy charming name,
And join the sacred song.
