CCLXXXIII. Blessing GOD for spiritual Blessings in CHRIST.

by Philip Doddridge 1702–1751

From Hymns founded on various Texts in the Holy Scriptures (1755)

Religion

LOUD be thy Name ador'd,
Thy Titles spread abroad,
Of Christ our glorious Lord
The Father and the GOD!
Thro' such a Son,
Thy Churches Head,
Thine Honours spread
O'er Worlds unknown.

Ten thousand Gifts of Love
From Thee thro' him descend;
And bear our Souls above
To Joys that never end:
To Heav'n they soar,
Sustain'd by GOD,
And thro' the Road
His Arm adore.

Ten thousand Songs of Praise
Shall by the Saviour rise,
And thro' eternal Days
Shall eccho round the Skies.
New Shouts we'll give,
And loud proclaim
The honour'd Name,
By which we live.
