D. A. McGregor

6.5.6.5.D.

JESUS, wondrous Saviour!

Christ, of kings the King!

Angels fall before Thee,

Prostrate, worshipping;

Fairest they confess Thee

In the Heaven above.

We would sing Thee fairest

Here in hymns of love.

2

All earth’s flowing pleasures

Were a wintry sea,

Heaven itself without Thee

Dark as night would be.

Lamb of God! Thy glory

Is the light above.

Lamb of God! Thy glory

Is the life of love.

3

Life is death, if severed

From Thy throbbing heart.

Death with life abundant

At Thy touch would start.

Worlds and men and angels

All consist in Thee:

Yet Thou camest to us

In humility.

4

Jesus! all perfections

Rise and end in Thee;

Brightness of God’s glory

Thou, eternally.

Favoured beyond measure

They Thy face who see;

May we, gracious Saviour,

Share this ecstasy.
