Representative Text

1 Blessèd Saviour, we adore thee;
we thy love and grace proclaim.
Thou art mighty; thou are holy.
Glorious is thy matchless name!

Refrain:
Glorious, is thy name, O Lord!

2 Great Redeemer, Lord and Master,
light of all eternal days,
let the saints of every nation
sing thy just and endless praise! [Refrain]

3 From the throne of heaven's glory
to the cross of sin and shame,
thou didst come to die a ransom,
guilty sinners to reclaim! [Refrain]

4 Come, O come, immortal Saviour,
come and take thy royal throne.
Come, and reign, and reign forever;
be the kingdom all thine own! [Refrain]
