1. Now will I praise thy name,
And sing thy wondrous fame;
Thou who for sinners came,
My crucified Lord.

2. For me thy blood was spilt;
Thou didst remove my guilt;
And save I know thou wilt,
My crucified Lord.

3. Tho' men may mock and sneer,

My crucified Lord.

4. Till then for this I pine,
To see thy face divine,
And in thine image shine,
My crucified Lord.
