Join All the Glorious Names

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 336 hymnals Topics: Ascension and Reign Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names Of wisdom, love, and pow'r, That ever mortals knew, That angels ever bore: All are too mean to speak His worth, Too poor to set my Savior forth. 2 Great Prophet of my God, My tongue would bless Thy name: By thee the joyful news Of our salvation came, The joyful news of sins forgiv'n, Of hell subdued and peace with heav'n. 3 Jesus, my great High Priest, Offered His blood, and died; My guilty conscience seeks No sacrifice beside: His pow'rful blood did once atone And now it pleads before the throne. 4 Thou art my Counsellor, My Pattern, and my Guide, And Thou my Shepherd art; O, keep me near Thy side; Nor let my feet e'er turn astray To wander in the crooked way. 5 My Savior and my Lord, My Conqu'ror and my King, Thy scepter and thy sword, Thy reigning grace, I sing: Thine is the pow'r; Behold I sit in willing bonds Beneath Thy feet. Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Used With Tune: DARWALL
