TO THEE, DEAR LORD, O CHRIST OF GOD
1. To Thee, dear
Lord, O Christ of God,
We sing, we ever
sing;
For Thou hast shed
Thy precious blood
Our cup of joy to
bring.
Thy mighty arm the
fight hath fought;
Thou art enthroned
above;
We into glory will
be brought
Thy wondrous grace
to prove.
2. To Thee, dear
Lord, O Christ of God
We sing, we ever
sing;
Thou hast invaded
death's abode
And robbed him of
his sting.
The house of dust
enthralls no more,
For Thou, the
strong to save,
Thyself doth guard
that silent door,
Great Keeper of the
grave.
3 To Thee, dear
Lord, O Christ of God,
We sing, we ever
sing;
For Thou hast
crushed beneath Thy rod
The world's proud
rebel king,
And plunged in
Thine imperial strength
To gulfs of darkness
down,
And brought Thy
trophy up at length,
The foiled
usurper's crown.
4. To Thee, dear
Lord, O Christ of God,
We sing, we ever
sing;
Thou hast redeemed
us with Thy blood
From every evil
thing.
God's saving
strength Thine arm upbore,
The arm that set us
free;
Glory, O Christ,
for evermore
Be to Thy God and
Thee.
