1 Saviour, when night in-volves the skies, My soul, a dor - ing, turns to Thee;

6 Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle Divine,

May Jesus Christ be praised:
Be this the eternal song,
Through all the ages on,

May Jesus Christ be praised.

Anon. (German, c. 1800). Trans. by Rev. Edward Caswall, 1853, 1858

ery heart and tongue. A-MEN.

2 His love, what mortal thought can reach? 4 Jesus, who left His throne on high,

What mortal tongue display? Imagination's utmost stretch

In wonder dies away.

3 Let wonder still with love unite,
And gratitude and joy;
Be Jesus our supreme delight,
His praise our best employ.

Left the bright realms of bliss, And came on earth to bleed and die

Was ever love like this?

5 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay
Our humble thanks to Thee,
May every heart with rapture say,
The Saviour died for me.

60 may the sweet, the blissful theme
Fill every heart and tongue,

Till strangers love Thy charming Name,
And join the sacred song.

1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.

Jesus is worthy to receive

Honor and power Divine;

And blessings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord, for ever Thine.

Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry, 4 Let all that dwell above the sky,

"To be exalted thus:"

"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply, "For He was slain for us."

And air, and earth, and seas, Conspire to lift Thy glories high, And speak Thine endless praise.

5 The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred Name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

Rev. Isaac Watts, 1707
