Glory unto Jesus be

Representative Text

1 Glory unto Jesus be,
From the curse he set us free;
All our built on him was laid,
He the ransom fully paid.

2 All his glorious work is done,
God's well pleased in his Son;
For he rais'd hi, from the dead,
And he reigns his church's head.

3 He redeem'd his praise shout forth,
Ever glorying in his worth;
Angels sing around the throne,
"Thou art worthy! Thou alone!"

4 He will soon return again,
And his saints with him shall reign;
In this hope thy joyful say
Come lord Jesus— come away.
