Hymnal: Living Hymns #282 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Come, every pious heart,
That loves the Saviour’s name,
Your noblest powers exert
To celebrate his fame;
Tell all above, and all below,
That debt of love, to him you owe.
2 He left his starry crown,
And laid His robes aside,
On wings of love came down,
And wept, and bled, and died:
What he endured, oh, who can tell,
To save our souls from death and hell?
3 From the dark grave he rose,
The mansions of the dead,
And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led;
Up through the sky the conqueror rode,
And reigns on high, the Saviour God.
4 Jesus, we ne’er can pay
The debt we owe thy love;
Yet tell us how we may
Our gratitude approve;
Our hearts, our all to thee we give,--
The gift, though small, thou wilt receive.
