Join all the glorious names
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 338 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:1 Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names
of wisdom, love, and power,
that ever mortals knew,
that angels ever bore:
all are too mean to speak his worth,
too mean to set my Saviour forth.
2 But O 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 Great Prophet of my God,
my tongue would bless thy name;
by thee the joyful news
of our salvation came:
the joyful news of sins forgiven,
of hell subdued and peace with heaven.
*4 Jesus my great High-Priest
offered his blood and died;
my guilty conscience seeks
no sacrifice beside:
his powerful blood did once atone,
and now it pleads before the throne.
5 My dear almighty Lord,
my Conqueror and my King,
thy sceptre and thy sword,
thy reign of grace, I sing;
thine is the power: behold I sit
in willing bonds before thy feet.
6 Now let my soul arise,
and tread the tempter down;
my Captain leads me forth
to conquest and a crown.
A feeble saint shall win the day,
though death and hell obstruct the way.
7 Should all the hosts of death,
and powers of hell unknown,
put their most dreadful forms
of rage and mischief on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
superior power, and guardian grace. Topics: Epiphany IV Year B; Proper 5 Year B; Proper 16 Year A Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH

an interest in the Savior's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain?

Refrain:
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
2 He left his Father's throne above,
so free, so infinite his grace!
Emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race!
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me. [Refrain]
3 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night.
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray;
I woke--the dungeon flamed with light!
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed thee. [Refrain]
4 No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne
and claim the crown, through Christ my own. [Refrain] Used With Tune: SAGINA

Raise your triumphant songs

To an immortal tune;
Let the wide earth resound the deeds
Celestial grace has done.

Its chief Beloved chose,
And bade him raise our wretched race
From their abyss of woes.

And wrath stood silent by,
When Christ was sent with pardons down
To rebels doomed to die.

Let hopeless sorrows cease;
Bow to the scepter of his love,
And take the offered peace.

We lay an humble claim
To the salvation thou hast brought,
And love and praise thy name.

when I was sinking down beneath God's righteous frown,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.

lowly we kneel in prayer before your throne,
that theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
whom you in holy love now join in one.

of tender charity and steadfast faith,
of patient hope and quiet, brave endurance,
with childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death.
3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
and to life's day the glorious morrow
that dawns upon eternal love and life.
