1 O blessed Saviour, Son of God,
Who hast redeemed us with Thy blood,
From guilt and death and shame,
With joy and praise, Thy people see
The crown of glory worn by Thee,
And worthy Thee proclaim.
2 Exalted, by the Father's love,
All thrones and pow'rs and names above,
At God's right hand in heaven:
Wisdom and riches, pow'r divine,
Blessing and honor, Lord, are Thine--
All things to Thee are given.
3 Head of the Church, Thou sittest there,
Thy members all the blessings share,--
Thy blessing, Lord, is ours:
Our life Thou art,--Thy grace sustains,
Thy strength in us each vict'ry gains
O'er sin and Satan's pow'rs.
4 And soon, the day of glory come,
Thy bride shall reach her destined home,
And all Thy beauty see.
How great our joyu to see Thee shine,
To hear Thee own us, Lord, as Thine,
And ever dwell with Thee!
