35. Jesus our Lord, with what Joy we adore thee
1 Jesus our Lord, with what Joy we adore thee
Chanting our praise to Thyself on the throne
Blest in Thy presence we worship before Thee,
Own Thou art worthy, and worthy alone.
Lord, Thou art worthy; Lord, Thou art worthy;
Lord, Thou art worthy, and worthy alone!
Blest in Thy presence we worship before Thee,
Own Thou art worthy, and worthy alone.
2 Verily God, yet become truly human-
Lower than angels- to die in our stead;
How hast Thou, long promised “seed of the woman”
Trod on the serpent and bruised his head!
3 How dist Thou humble Thyself to be taken,
Led by Thy creatures and nailed to the cross!
Hated of men, and of God, too forsaken,
Shunning not darkness, the curse and the loss!
4 How hast Thou triumphed, and triumphed with glory,
Battled death’s forces rolled back every wave!
Can we refrain, then from telling the story!
Lord Thou art victor o’er death and the grave.
