Jesus, our Lord, with what joy
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, (3x)
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 didst 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.
