Author: Anna Steele Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #66b (1908) Lyrics: 1 To our Redeemer's glorious Name
Awake the sacred song!
O may His love, immortal flame!
Tune ev'ry heart and tongue,
Tune ev'ry heart and tongue, Amen.
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 Savior died for me!"
5 O may the sweet, the blissful theme
Fill every heart and tongue,
Till strangers love Thy charming Name,
And join the sacred song! Topics: The Church Year Passion; Third Sunday in Lent Languages: English Tune Title: AVON
To our Redeemer's glorious Name
