To our Redeemer’s glorious name

Awake the sacred song;

O may his love (immortal flame!)

Tune every heart and tongue.

2 His love, what mortal thought can reach!

What mortal tongue display!

Imagination’s utmost stretch

In wonder dies away.

3 He left his radiant throne on high,

Left the bright realms of bliss,

And came to earth to bleed and die!

Was ever love like this?

4 Blest Lord, while we adoring pay

Our humble thanks to thee,

May every heart with rapture say,

“The Saviour died for me!”

5 O may the sweet, the blissful theme

Fill every heart and tongue,

Till strangers love thy charming name,

And join the sacred song.
