 1 

Join all the glorious names

Of wisdom, love, and pow'r,

That mortals ever knew,

That angels ever bore;

All are too mean to speak His worth,

Too mean to set my Savior forth.

 
 2 

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 forgiv'n,

Of death annulled, and Thy life giv'n.

 
 3 

Jesus, my great High Priest,

Offered His blood, and died;

My guilty conscience seeks

No sacrifice beside:

His pow'rful blood did me redeem,

'Tis worthy of my heart's esteem.

 
 4 

I love my Shepherd's voice:

His watchful eye shall keep

My wand'ring soul among

The thousands of His sheep:

He feeds His flock, He calls their names,

His bosom bears the tender lambs.

 
 5 

My Savior and my Lord,

My Conqu'ror and my King,

Thy scepter and Thy sword,

Thy reigning grace I sing:

Thine is the pow'r; behold I sit

In willing bonds beneath Thy feet.
