Thy Name We Love, Lord Jesus (Little Flock Hymnbook #152)

1

Thy name we love, Lord Jesus;

And lowly bow before Thee;

And while we live, to Thee we give

All blessing, worship, glory;

We sing aloud Thy praises,

Our hearts and voices blending,

’Tis Thou alone we worthy own,

Thy beauty’s all transcending.

Thy name we love, Lord Jesus;

It tells God’s love unbounded

To ruined man ere time began,

Or heaven and earth were founded;

Thine is a love eternal,

That found in us its pleasure,

That brought Thee low to bear our woe,

And make us Thine own treasure.

Thy name we love, Lord Jesus;

It tells Thy birth so lowly,

Thy patience, grace, Thy gentleness,

Thy lonely path, so holy;

Thou wast the "Man of sorrows";

Our grief, too, Thou didst bear it;

Our bitter cup Thou drankest up;

The thorny crown — didst wear it.

“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” (Revelation 3:10)

Thy name we love, Lord Jesus;

God’s Lamb — Thou wast ordainèd

To bear our sins (Thyself all clean),

And hast our guilt sustainèd:

We see Thee crowned in glory,

Above the heavens now seated,

The victory won, Thy work well done,

Our righteousness completed.
