1 “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,”
Glory to Thy holy name;
“Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God;”
Yesterday and today the same.

Refrain:
Wonderful Name! wonderful Name!
A Name far above ev’ry Name,
Mighty Counsellor! mighty Counsellor!
Praise Him who arose far above all foes;
Wonderful! wonderful!

2 “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Risen Lord and coming King;
“Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,”
Hear the song and the praise we bring. [Refrain]

3 “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,”
Glory, glory to the Son;
“Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,”
Glory be to the three in one. [Refrain]
