The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook ‎#451

451. Join all the glorious names

1 Join all the glorious names
of wisdom, love and power,
that ever mortals knew,
that angels ever bore;
all are too mean to speak His worth,
too poor to set my Saviour forth!

2 Great Prophet of my God,
my tongue would bless Your name:
by You the joyful news
of our salvation came;
the joyful news of sins forgiven,
of hell subdued and peace with heaven.

3 Jesus, my great High Priest,
the Lamb of God who died!
My guilty conscience seeks
no sacrifice beside;
the power of Your atoning blood
has won acceptance with my God.

4 Divine almighty Lord,
my Conqueror and my King:
Your sceptre and Your sword,
Your reigning grace I sing;
Yours is the power — and so I sit
in willing service at Your feet.

5 Now let my soul arise,
and tread the tempter down:
my Captain leads me on
to conquest and a crown;
the child of God shall win the day,
though death and hell obstruct the way.
