567. "Christ the hope of glory"

1 Jesus, the Lord, my Saviour is,
My Shepherd, and my God;
My light, my strength, my joy, my bliss;
And I his grace record.

2 Whate’er I need in Jesus dwells,
And there it dwells for me;
’Tis Christ my earthen vessel fills
With treasures rich and free.

3 Mercy and truth and righteousness,
And peace, most richly meet
In Jesus Christ, the King of grace,
In whom I stand complete.

4 As through the wilderness I roam,
His mercies I’ll proclaim;
And when I safely reach my home,
I’ll still adore his name.

5 “Worthy the Lamb,” shall be my song,
“For he for me was slain;”
And with me all the heavenly throng
Shall join, and say, “Amen.”
