29. O Blessed Savior, Son of God
8,8,6.
by J.G. Deck
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 they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.” (Revelation 5:9)
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.
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.
“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57)
And soon, the day of glory come,
Thy bride shall reach her destined home,
How great our joy to see Thee shine,
To hear Thee own us, Lord, as Thine,
And ever dwell with Thee.
