| 1 | Great Captain of salvation, | Hebrews 2:10; Hebrew 2:7,9; Revelation 5:6; Revelation 5:12 |
| Now crowned with highest glory, |
| Joyful we raise, |
| Our songs of praise, |
| And lowly bow before Thee: |
| We worship and adore Thee, |
| Each heart and tongue confessing, |
| Worthy to reign, |
| The Lamb once slain, |
| Of honor, power and blessing. |
|
| 2 | Thou hast the cross endurèd— | Hebrews 12:2; Ephesians 3:19; Galatians 3:13; Isaiah 53:9; Matthew 13:44; Isaiah 53:4; Revelation 5:6; Revelation 1:18; Hebrews 2:7,9 |
| In love beyond all measure! |
| The curse, the grave, |
| Thy saints to save, |
| And have us as Thy treasure. |
| We see Thee as the Victim, |
| Our sins and sorrows bearing; |
| The Lamb once slain, |
| Alive again, |
| The crown of glory wearing. |
|
| 3 | Head of the new creation, | Ephesians 1:20-22; Romans 14:11 |
| To God's right hand ascended; |
| Thy saints rejoice, |
| With heart and voice, |
| Before Thy feet low bended: |
| We own Thee, Lord, exulting |
| In all Thy joy and glory: |
| And long to be |
| On high with Thee, |
| Where all shall bow before Thee. |
