To our Redeemer's glorious Name
Awake the sacred song:
O may His love - immortal flame -
Tune every heart and tongue.
His love, what mortal tongue can reach?
What mortal tongue display?
Imagination's utmost stretch
In wonder dies away.

⁺Jesus, the Lamb Who was slain.
Jesus, You are worthy to be praised!

Let wonder still with love unite,
And gratitude and joy;
Be Jesus our supreme delight,
His praise our best employ.
Our Lord,^* who left His throne on high,
Left the bright realms of bliss,
And came on earth to bleed and die -
Was ever love like this?

^* Originally "Jesus" which did not fit the text stress, and was also redundant with the addition of the refrain.
⁺ Added refrain.
