(Phil. 2:9-11.)
Our Lord and King,
To Thee we cling
While we Thy promise claim
Our brightest hope
In all its scope
Is centered in Thy name.
Through changing years
Thy love appears
Forevermore the same:
In earth and heaven
To Thee is given
By right the highest name.
And we draw near
In faith sincere
As first Thy loved ones came:
Thy smile is sweet
To all who meet
Alone in Thy great name.
Our hearts we raise
In grateful praise,
Touched by devotion's flame:
When in our need
For aid we plead
We know alone Thy name.
Though other themes,
Like fleeting dreams,
May end in fear and shame:
In light divine
Will ever shine
Thy one exalted name.
For truth revealed,
For spirits healed,
For souls set free from blame,
We evermore
Praise and adore
And glorify Thy name. T. Watson
