Author: John Chandler, 1806-1876 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #300 (1978) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 First Line: O Christ, our hope, our hearts' desire Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our hope, our heart's desire,
Creation's mighty Lord,
Redeemer of the fallen world,
By holy love out-poured,
By holy love out-poured:
2 How vast your mercy to accept
The burden of our sin,
And bow your head in cruel death
To make us clean within,
To make us clean within.
3 But now the bonds of death are burst,
The ransom has been paid;
You now ascend the Father's throne
In robes of light arrayed,
In robes of light arrayed.
4 Oh, let your mighty love prevail
To purge us of our pride,
That we may stand before Your throne
By mercy purified,
By mercy purified.
5 Christ Jesus, be our present joy,
Our future great reward;
Our only glory, may it be
To glory in the Lord!
6 All praise to you, ascended Lord;
All glory ever be
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Through all eternity!
