1 O Savior, precious Savior,
whom yet unseen we love,
O Name of might and favor,
all other names above!
We worship Thee, we bless Thee,
to Thee, O Christ, we sing;
we praise Thee, and confess Thee,
our holy Lord and King.
2 O bringer of salvation,
who wondrously hast wrought,
Thyself the revelation
of love beyond our thought,
we worship Thee, we bless Thee,
to Thee, O Christ, we sing;
we praise Thee, and confess Thee,
our gracious Lord and King.
3 In Thee all fullness dwelleth,
all grace and pow'r divine;
the glory that excelleth,
O Son of God, is Thine;
we worship Thee, we bless Thee,
to Thee, O Christ, we sing;
we praise Thee, and confess Thee,
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 Thee,
where perfect praises ring,
and evermore confess Thee,
our Savior and our King.
