I. Watts

6.6.6.6.8.8.

JOIN all the glorious names

Of wisdom, love, and power,

That ever mortals knew,

That angels ever bore:

All are too mean to speak His worth,

Too mean to set my Saviour forth.

2

Great Prophet of my God,

My tongue would bless Thy Name:

By Thee the joyful news

Of our salvation came,

The joyful news of sins forgiven

Of hell subdued and peace with heaven.

3

Jesus, my great High Priest,

Offered His blood, and died;

My guilty conscience seeks

No sacrifice beside:

His powerful blood did once atone

And now it pleads before the throne.

4

I love my Shepherd’s voice:

His watchful eye shall keep

My wandering soul among

The thousands of His sheep:

He feeds His flock, He calls their names,

His bosom bears the tender lambs.

5

My Savior and my Lord,

My Conqueror and my King,

Thy sceptre and Thy sword,

Thy reigning grace I sing:

Thine is the power, behold I sit

In willing bonds beneath Thy feet.
