Praise to the Redeemer

To our Redeemer's glorious name,
Awake the sacred song!
O may his love, (immortal flame!)
Tune ev'ry heart and tongue.

His love, what mortal thought can reach?
What mortal tongue display?
Imagination's utmost stretch
In wonder dies away.

Let wonder still with love unite,
And gratitude and joy;
Be Jesus our supreme delight,
His praise, our best employ.

Jesus, who left his throne on high,
Left the bright realms of bliss,
And came on earth to bleed and die —.
Was ever love like this?

Dear Lord, while we adoring pay
Our humble thanks to thee,
May ev'ry heart with rapture say,
The Saviour dy'd for me.

O may the sweet, the blissful theme
Fill ev'ry heart and tongue,
Till strangers love thy charming name.
And join the sacred song.
