Worship, and thanks, and blessing,
And strength ascribe to Jesus!
The Lord alone defends His own,
When earth or hell oppresses.
Omnipotent Redeemer!
Our ransomed souls adore Thee;
Our Savior Thou, we own it now,
And give to Thee the glory.
Thine arm hath safely brought us
A way no more expected
Than when Thy sheep passed through the deep
By crystal walls protected.
We sing Thine arm unshortened,
Brought through each sore temptation;
With heart and voice, in Thee rejoice,
Thou God of our salvation.
Thy glory is our rear-ward,
Thy hand our lives doth cover;
And we, e’en we, have passed the sea,
And marched triumphant over;
We own thy great deliverance,
And triumph in Thy favor;
And for the love which now we prove,
Shall praise Thy name for ever.

Thy Name We Bless, Lord Jesus ( 68 )
Thy name we bless, Lord Jesus,
That name all names excelling,
How great Thy love, all praise above,
Should every tongue be telling.
The Father’s loving-kindness
In giving Thee was shown us;
Now by Thy blood redeemed to God,
As children He doth own us.
From that eternal glory
Thou hadst with God the Father,
He gave His Son that He in one
His children all might gather;
Our sins were laid on Thee,
God’s wrath Thou hast endured;
It was for us Thou sufferedst thus,
And hast our peace secured.
Thou from the dead was raised–
And from all condemnation
Thy saints are free, as risen in Thee,
Head of the new creation!
On high Thou hast ascended,
To God’s right hand in heaven,
The Lamb once slain, alive again–
To Thee all power is given.
Thou hast bestowed the earnest
Of that we shall inherit;
Till Thou shalt come to take us home,
We’re sealed by God the Spirit.
We wait for Thine appearing,
When we shall know more fully
The grace divine that made us Thine,
Thou Lamb of God most holy!
Head Of The Church, Thy Body ( 115 )
Head of the church, Thy body,
O Christ, the great Salvation!
Sweet to the saints
It is to think
Of all Thine exaltation!
All power’s to Thee committed.
All power on earth, in heaven;
To Thee a name
Of widest fame
Above all glory’s given.
With Thee believers raised,
In Thee in high are seated;
All guilty once,
But cleared by Thee;
Redemption-toil’s completed.
And when Thou, Lord and Savior,
Shalt come again in glory,
There by Thy side,
Thy spotless bride
Shall crown the wondrous story.
At length–the final kingdom,
No bound, no end possessing:
When heaven and earth–
God all in all
Shall fill with largest blessing.
All root of evil banished,
No breath of sin to wither,
On earth–on high–
Naught else but joy,
And blissful peace for ever!
Thy Name We Love, Lord Jesus ( 152 )
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.
The 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.
Thy name we love, Lord Jesus;
God’s Lamb–Thou wast ordained
To bear our sins (Thyself all clean),
And hast our guilt sustained:
We see Thee crowned in glory,
Above the heavens now seated,
The victory won, Thy work well done,
Our righteousness completed.
Great Captain Of Salvation ( 192 )
Great Captain of salvation,
Now crowned with highest glory,
Joyful we raise,
Our songs of praise,
And lowly bow before Thee:
We worship and adore Thee,
Each heart and tongue confessing,
Worthy to reign,
The Lamb once slain,
Of honor, power, and blessing.
Thou hast the cross endured–
In love beyond all measure!
The curse, the grave,
Thy saints to save,
And have us as Thy treasure.
We see Thee as the Victim,
Our sins and sorrows bearing;
The Lamb once slain,
Alive again,
The crown of glory wearing.
Head of the new creation,
To God’s right hand ascended;
Thy saints rejoice,
With heart and voice,
Before Thy feet low bended:
We own Thee, Lord, exulting
In all Thy joy and glory;
And long to be
On high with Thee,
Where all shall bow before Thee.
