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.
