Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior Thou,
 
With joy we worship Thee,
 
We know Thou hast redeemèd us,
 
By dying on the tree.
“To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.” (Titus 1:4)
“And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.” (Romans 5:11)
“Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” (Titus 2:14)
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)
2
We know the love that brought Thee down,
 
Down from that bliss on high,
 
To meet our ruined souls in need,
 
On Calvary’s cross to die.
3
Our Savior Jesus — Lord Thou art,
 
Eternal is Thy love;
 
Eternal, too, our songs of praise
 
When with Thee, Lord, above.
4
E’en now we praise the grace divine,
 
The love that shines in Thee;
 
The rich One Thou — for us made poor,
 
By death to set us free.
5
We praise, we worship, we adore,
 
As round Thyself we meet;
 
Thy beauty, Lord, our souls transports,
 
While bowing at Thy feet.
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20)

6
Our theme of praise art Thou alone,
 
Thy cross, Thy work, Thy Word:
 
Oh! who can fathom all Thy love,
 
Thou living, blessèd Lord?
