To Our Redeemer’s Glorious Name

lyricist: Anne Steele, 1760
Composer: William Jones, 1789

To our Re­deem­er’s glo­ri­ous name

Awake the sacred song!

O may His love (im­mor­tal flame!)

Tune ev­ery heart and tongue.

His love

what mor­tal thought can reach?

What mor­tal tongue dis­play?

Imagination’s ut­most stretch

In won­der dies away.

Let won­der still with love unite

And gra­ti­tude and joy;

Be Je­sus our su­preme de­light

His praise

our best em­ploy.

Jesus

who left His throne on high

Left the bright realms of bliss

And came on earth to bleed and die—

Was ev­er love like this?

Dear Lord

while we ad­or­ing pay

Our hum­ble thanks to Thee

May ev­ery heart with rap­ture say

The Sav­ior died for me.

O may the sweet

the bliss­ful theme

Fill ev­ery heart and tongue

Till strang­ers love Thy charm­ing name

And join the sac­red song.
