GRH 179 Thy Name We Love, Lord Jesus

(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 praisees, Our hearts and voices blending.
‘Tis Thou alone we worthy own, Thy beauty’s all transcending.

(2)
Thy name we love, Lord Jesus, It tells God’s love unbounded,
To ruined man are time began, Or heav’n 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.

(3)
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.

(4)
Thy name we love, Lord Jesus, God’s Lamb Thou wast ordained,
To bear our sin, Thy self all clean, And hast our guilt sustained;
We are Thee crowned in glory; Above the heav’ns now seated,
The vict’ry won, Thy work well done. Our righteousness completed.
