Hymn
Praise to the Redeemer
To our Redeemer's glorious name
Awake the sacred song!
O may His love, immortal flame,
Tune ev'ry heart and tongue,
Tune ev'ry heart and tongue.
His love what human tho't can reach,
What mortal tongue portray?
Imagination's utmost stretch
In wonder dies away,
In wonder dies away.
He left His radiant throne on high,
Bright realms of heav'nly bliss,
And came to earth to bleed and die--
Was ever love like this?
Was ever love like this?
Dear Lord, while we adoring pay
Our humble thanks to Thee,
May ev'ry heart with rapture say,
The Savior died for me,
The Savior died for me.
O may the sweet, the blissful theme
Fill ev'ry heart and tongue,
Till strangers love Thy charming name
And join the sacred song!
And join the sacred song!
Amen.
