Jesus, Blessèd Lord and Savior

Jesus

bless­èd Lord and Sav­ior

Bowed in death on Cal­v’ry’s tree

Darkest hour of bit­ter judg­ment

Borne to set Thy peo­ple free;

Sweet our por­tion

sweet our por­tion

As we thus re­mem­ber Thee.

From the high­est heights of glo­ry

To the cross of deep­est shame

Thus ac­comp­lish­ing re­demp­tion

Jesus in His pi­ty came;

Precious Sav­ior

pre­cious Sav­ior

We adore Thy match­less name.

From the dark­ness and the dist­ance

From the crush­ing load of sin

Blessèd Sav­ior

Thou hast freed us

By Thy blood hast made us clean;

In Thy beau­ty

in Thy beau­ty

Now Thy ran­somed ones are seen.

Thus as­sured of Thine ac­cept­ance

We to God may now draw near;

In the ho­li­est may wor­ship;

Perfect love hath cast out fear;

To the Fa­ther

to the Fa­ther

We in Christ are near and dear.
