Wondrous Love ‎#88

88. To Thee, O Blessed Savior

1 To thee O blessed Savior,
My heart exulting springs,
Rejoicing in thy favor
Almighty King of kings;
I’ll celebrate thy glory
With all the saints above,
And tell the joyful story
Of thy redeeming love.

Refrain:
Fill all our hearts with gladness,
And every mouth with praise,
That we may swell the chorus
And loud the anthem raise,
To celebrate thy glory
With all the saints above,
And tell the joyful story
Of thy redeeming love.

2 Soon as the moon with roses
Bedecks the dewy east;
And when the sun reposes
Upon the ocean’s breast,
My voice in supplication
O Savior, thou shalt hear,
Grant me thy full salvation,
And to my heart draw near. [Refrain]

3 By thee, through life supported,
I pass the dangerous road,
With heavenly hosts escorted
Up to their bright abode;
There cast my crown before thee,
My toils and conflicts o’er,
And with the hosts angelic
Thy wondrous love adore. [Refrain]
