Savior, Whom Our Hearts Adore

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1762
Composer: Anonymous

Savior

whom our hearts a­dore

To bless our earth again

Now as­sume Thy roy­al pow­er

And o’er the na­tions reign;

Christ

the world’s de­sire and hope

Power com­plete to Thee is giv­en;

Set the last great em­pire up

Eternal Lord of Heav­en.

Where they all Thy laws have spurned

Where they Thy name pro­fane

Where the ru­ined world hath mourned

With blood of mill­ions slain

Open there the ethe­re­al scene

Claim the hea­then tribes for Thine;

There the end­less reign be­gin

With ma­jes­ty di­vine.

Universal Sav­ior

Thou

Wilt all Thy crea­tures bless;

Every knee to Thee shall bow

And ev­ery tongue con­fess:

None shall in Thy mount de­stroy;

War shall then be learnt no more:

Saints shall their great king en­joy

And all man­kind ad­ore.
