O blessed Savior, Son of God!
 
Who hast redeemed us with Thy blood
 
From guilt and death and shame — 
 
With joy and praise, Thy people see
 
The crown of glory worn by Thee,
 
And worthy Thee proclaim.
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21)
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:13)
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)
“But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (1 Peter 1:19)
2
Exalted, by the Father’s love,
 
All thrones and powers and names above,
 
At God’s right hand in heaven:
 
Wisdom and riches, power divine,
 
Blessing and honor, Lord, are Thine — 
 
All things to Thee are given.
3
Head of the church! Thou sittest there,
 
Thy members all the blessings share — 
 
Thy blessing, Lord, is ours:
 
Our life Thou art — Thy grace sustains,
 
Thy strength in us each victory gains
 
O’er sin and Satan’s powers.
4
And soon, the day of glory come,
 
Thy bride shall reach her destined home,
 
And all Thy beauty see:
 
How great our joy to see Thee shine,
 
To hear Thee own us, Lord, as Thine,
 
And ever dwell with Thee.
“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
