146. We Bless Our Savior's Name
S.M.
by J.G. Deck
We bless our Savior’s name,
Our sins are all forgiven;
To suffer once to earth He came:
He now is crowned in heaven.
Lord, let us ne’er forget
Thy rich, Thy precious love;
Our theme of joy and wonder here,
“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.” (John 15:9)
“And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” (Ephesians 3:19)
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.” (Revelation 1:5)
Oh let Thy love constrain
Our souls to cleave to Thee!
And ever in our hearts remain
“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead.” (2 Corinthians 5:14)
“Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.” (Acts 11:23)
