Join all the glorious names
of wisdom, love and power,
that mortals ever knew,
that angels ever bore;
all are too poor to speak his worth,
too poor to set my Saviour forth.
2. Great Prophet of my God,
my tongue shall bless your name:
by you the joyful news
of our salvation came;
the joyful news of sins forgiven,
of hell subdued and peace with heaven.
3. Jesus, my great High Priest,
offered his blood and died;
my guilty conscience seeks
no sacrifice beside;
his powerful blood did once atone
and now it pleads before the throne.
4. My Saviour and my Lord,
my Conqueror and my King,
your sceptre and your sword,
your reigning grace I sing;
yours is the power, and so I sit
in willing service at your feet.
5. Now let my soul arise
and tread the tempter down:
my Captain leads me forth
to conquest and a crown;
the child of God shall win the day,
though death and hell obstruct the way.
6. Should all the hosts of death
and powers of hell unknown,
put their most dreadful forms
of rage and malice on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
superior power and guardian grace.
