Text:O Saviour, great and glorious

470. O Saviour, great and glorious

1 O Saviour, great and glorious
Beyond all pow'r to tell,
We hail Thee now victorious
O'er all the hosts of hell:
Though crucified in weakness,
In pow'r Thou livest now;
Though suf'fring once in meekenss,
Glory adorns Thy brow.

2 A life and death of sorrow
Wee here Thy portion, Lord;
But on the glorious morrow
Thy name shall be adored:
Oh, come then in Thy glory!
We long to see Thee reign,
Thy foes subdued before Thee:
Lord Jesus, come again.
