228. Join All the Glorious Names
6,6,6,6,8,8.
by I. Watts, 1709
Join all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love and power,
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,
The joyful news of sins forgiven,
Of hell subdued, of peace with heaven.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8)
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:14)
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
The thousands of God’s sheep;
He feeds His flock, He calls their names,
And gently leads the tender lambs.

“Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.” (Psalm 100:3)
