Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13759 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 To Jesus, our exalted Lord,
(Dear name, by Heav’n and earth adored!)
Fain would our hearts and voices raise
A cheerful song of sacred praise.
2 But all the notes which mortals know
Are weak and languishing and low;
Far, far above our humble songs,
The theme demands immortal tongues.
3 Yet while around His board we meet,
And worship at His glorious feet;
O let our warm affections move
In glad returns of grateful love.
4 Yes, Lord, we love, and we adore,
But long to know and love Thee more;
And while we taste the bread and wine,
Desire to feed on joys divine.
5 Let faith our feeble senses aid,
To see Thy wondrous love displayed,
Thy broken flesh, Thy bleeding veins,
Thy dreadful agonizing pains.
6 Let humble, penitential woe
With painful, pleasing anguish flow,
And Thy forgiving smiles impart
Life, hope, and joy to every heart. Languages: English Tune Title: COMMUNION
To Jesus, Our Exalted Lord
