66. To our Redeemer's glorious name

1 To our Redeemer's glorious name
Awake the sacred song!
O may His love, immortal flame!
Tune ev'ry heart and tongue.

2 His love what mortal thought can reach!
What mortal tongue display!
Imagination's utmost stretch
In wonder dies away.

3 He left His radiant throne on high,
Left the bright realms of bliss,
And came to earth to bleed and die!
Was ever love like this?

4 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay
Our humble thanks to Thee;
May ev'ry heart with rapture say,
"The Savior died for me."

5 O may the sweet, the blissful theme
Fill ev'ry heart and tongue:
Till strangers love Thy charming name,
And join the sacred song.
