Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

Saved by Thy sovereign mercy, firmly I stand;
Grace gives me access to my LORD’S right hand;
Now, filled with lowly praises, glows my heart,
Wedded to my SAVIOUR, nevermore to part.
Praise fills the heavenly scene, praise to the LORD;
All praise the SAVIOUR’S name, with one accord:
Surely MY SAVIOUR should be praised by me:
None else is worthy of my praise but He.
DOWN from the throne of glory, CHRIST came to die:
Under my sins’ dread burden, He did lie.
Raised now to “heavenly places,” He appears
As a living SAVIOUR, on to endless years.
Grace fills the heavenly scene-free, boundless grace;
All saints, in JESUS’ heart, now find a place.
Surely MY SAVIOUR all my trust should be,
None else is worthy of my trust but He.
Jesus my LORD and SAVIOUR, Thee will I own,
Love, serve, and follow Thee, and Thee alone.
Living and pleading at the throne above
In Thy blood I’ve cleansing: share Thy endless love.
Love fills the heavenly scene, Love from the LORD;
Love, love to JESUS, too, all hearts accord:
Surely MY SAVIOUR should be loved by me,
None else is worthy of my love but He.
CROSSING the desert dreary, He guides my way;
He, ‘mid all foes and dangers, is my stay:
Conquerors, in love, He makes us, now to be;
Gives us, at His coming, glorious victory.
Know ye “that blessed Hope”-Jesus will come!
Take up His weary ones to His own Home,
Surely MY SAVIOUR all my hope should be,
None else is worthy of mv hope but He.
