Thy name we bless, Lord Jesus,
   That name all names excelling,
     How great Thy love, all praise above,
   Should every tongue be telling.
  The Father's loving-kindness
   In giving Thee was shewn us;
     Now by Thy blood redeemed to God,
   As children He doth own us.

From that eternal glory
   Thou hadst with God the Father,
     He gave His Son that He in one
   His children all might gather;              
  Our sins were laid on Thee,
   God's wrath Thou hast endured;
     It was for us Thou sufferedst thus,
   And hast our peace secured.

Thou from the dead was raised-
   And from all condemnation
     Thy saints are free, as risen in Thee,
   Head of the new creation !
  On high Thou hast ascended,
   To God's right hand in heaven,
     The Lamb once slain, alive again-
   To Thee all power is given.

Thou hast bestowed  the earnest
   Of that we shall inherit;
     Till Thou shalt come to take us home,
   We're sealed by God the Spirit.
  We wait for Thine appearing,
   When we shall know more fully
     The grace divine that made us Thine,
   Thou Lamb of God most holy !
