Representative Text

1 Savior of men, we bless thy name,

Thy power and grace we would proclaim,
And thine eternal love adore.

2 Thy glory shall forever stand,
Thy truth remains both firm and sure;

(He is the Lord whom angels fear)
On him we always would depend,
And in his righteousness appear.

5 We love the Lord our God most high,
His grace demands our noblest song;
All praise to Christ who came to die,
To him all glory doth belong.
