Author: Cennick Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLXXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Thou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb Lyrics: 1 Thou dear Redeemer dying Lamb,
We love to hear of thee;
No music's like thy charming name,
Nor half so sweet can be.
2 O let us ever hear thy voice,
In mercy to us speak,
And in our priest we will rejoice,
Thou great Melchisedec.
3 Our Jesus shall be still our theme,
While in this world we stay,
We'll sing our Jesu's lovely name,
When all things else decay:
4 When we appear in yonder cloud,
With all thy favor'd throng,
Then will we sing more sweet, more loud,
And Christ shall be our song. Topics: Worship Hymns After Sermon; Christ Melchisedec; Christ The burden of the song; Public Religion Languages: English
