THY NAME WE LOVE, LORD JESUS
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Thy name we
love, Lord Jesus;
It tells Thy birth
so lowly,
Thy patience,
grace, Thy 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.
4. 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 victory won,
Thy work well done,
Our righteousness
completed.
