Thy name we love, Lord Jesus

lyricist: W. Yerbury
Composer: Greek melody

Thy name we love

Lord Jesus

And lowly bow before Thee;

And while we live

to Thee we give

All blessing

worship

glory.

We sing aloud Thy praises

Our hearts and voices blending

’Tis Thou alone we worthy own

Thy beauty’s all-transcending.

Thy name we love

Lord Jesus;

It tells God’s love unbounded

To ruined man

ere time began

Or heav’n and earth were founded:

Thine is a love eternal

That found in us its pleasure

That brought Thee low to bear our woe

And make us Thine own treasure.

Thy name we love

Lord Jesus;

It tells Thy birth so lowly

Thy patience

grace

and gentleness

Thy lonely path

so holy;

Thou wast the “Man of Sorrows”;

Our grief

too

Thou didst bear it;

Our bitter cup Thou drankest up;

The thorny crown

didst wear it.

Thy name we love

Lord Jesus;

God’s Lamb—Thou wast ordained

To bear our sins (Thyself all clean)

And hast our guilt sustained.

We see Thee crowned in glory

Above the heavens now seated

The vict’ry won

Thy work well done

Our righteousness completed.
