LXXXVIII. Praise to the Redeemer

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

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

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

4 Dear LORD, while we adoring pay,
Our humble thanks to thee;
May e'ery heart with rapture say,
"The Saviour dy'd for me."

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