Join all the glorious names
 
Of wisdom, love and power,
 
That mortals ever knew,
 
That angels ever bore;
 
All are too mean to speak His worth,
 
Too mean to set the Savior forth.

Great Prophet of our God!
 
Our tongues must bless Thy name,
 
By whom the joyful news
 
Of free salvation came;
 
The joyful news of sins forgiven,
 
Of hell subdued, of peace with heaven.

Thou art our Counsellor,
 
Our Pattern, and our Guide,
 
And Thou our Shepherd art;
 
Ah! keep us near Thy side;
 
Nor let our feet e’er turn astray,
 
To wander in the crooked way.

We love the Shepherd’s voice:
 
His watchful eyes shall keep
 
Our pilgrim souls among
 
The thousands of God’s sheep;
 
He feeds His flock, He calls their names,
 
And gently leads the tender lambs.
