1 O Savior, precious Savior,
whom yet unseen we love,
O name of might and favor,
all other names above;
we worship you, we bless you,
to you alone we sing;
we praise you, and confess you
our holy Lord and King.
2 O bringer of salvation,
who wondrously has wrought,
yourself the revelation
of love beyond our thought;
we worship you, we bless you,
to you alone we sing;
we praise you, and confess you
our gracious Lord and King.
3 In you all fullness dwelling,
all grace and pow'r outpours:
the glory all-excelling,
O Son of God, is yours;
we worship you, we bless you,
to you alone we sing;
we praise you, and confess you
our glorious Lord and King.
4 O grant the consummation
of this our song above
in endless adoration
and everlasting love;
then shall we praise and bless you
where perfect praises ring,
and evermore confess you
our Savior and our King.
