418. Praise to the Redeemer

1 To our Redeemer’s glorious name,
Awake the sacred song;
O may his love (immortal flame!)
Tune every heart and tongue.

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

3 He left his radiant throne on high!
Left the bright realms of bliss!
And came to earth to bleed and die!
Was ever love like this?

4 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay
Our humble thanks to thee,
May every heart with rapture say,
“The Saviour died for me.”
