Savior of All, to Thee We Bow

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1742
Composer: German psalter, 1562

Savior of all to Thee we bow

And own Thee faith­ful to Thy word;

We hear Thy voice

and op­en now

Our hearts to en­ter­tain our Lord.

Come in

come in

Thou heav­en­ly guest;

Delight in what Thy­self hast giv­en;

On Thy own gifts and grac­es feast

And make the con­trite heart Thy heav­en.

Smell the sweet od­or of our pray­ers;

Our sac­ri­fice of praise ap­prove;

And trea­sure up our gra­cious tears

And rest in Thy re­deem­ing love.

Beneath Thy sha­dow let us sit;

Call us Thy friend and love

and bride;

And bid us free­ly drink and eat

Thy dain­ties

and be sa­tis­fied.

O let us on Thy full­ness feed

And eat Thy flesh

and drink Thy blood;

Jesus

Thy blood is drink in­deed

Jesus

Thy flesh is an­gels’ food.

The heav­en­ly man­na faith im­parts

Faith makes Thy full­ness all our own;

We feed up­on Thee in our hearts

And find that Heav­en and Thee art one.

A Heav­en be­gun on earth we feel

Who con­quer in the glo­ri­ous strife

And pass o’er sin

and earth

and hell

Triumphant to eter­nal life.

The full­ness of eter­nal bliss

We shall from Thee re­ceive ab­ove;

This the re­ward of con­quests

this

The crown of all vic­tor­ious love.

Conqueror of sin

and hell and death

As Thou the dread­ful fight hast won

And wear­est now th’im­mor­tal wreath

And sit­test on Thy Fa­ther’s throne.

So shalt Thou grant to all that fight

And con­quer in Thy migh­ty name

To claim the king­dom as their right

Their suf­fer­ings

and their crown the same.

Who bore Thy cross shall wear Thy crown

Shall tri­umph in Thy vic­to­ry

And in Thy glo­ri­ous throne sit down

And reign in end­less bliss with Thee.
