| 1. | Jesus, wondrous Savior! |
| | Christ, of kings the King! |
| | Angels fall before Thee, |
| | Prostrate, worshipping; |
| | Fairest they confess Thee |
| | In the heav'n above. |
| | We would sing Thee fairest |
| | Here in hymns of love. |
| 2. | All earth's flowing pleasures |
| | Were a wintry sea; |
| | Heav'n itself without Thee |
| | Dark as night would be. |
| | Lamb of God! Thy glory |
| | Is the light above., |
| | Lamb of God! Thy glory |
| | Is the life of love. |
| 3. | Life is death, if severed |
| | >From Thy throbbing heart. |
| | Death with life abundant |
| | At Thy touch would start. |
| | Worlds and men and angels |
| | All consist in Thee, |
| | Yet Thou camest to us |
| | In humility. |
| 4. | Jesus! all perfections |
| | Rise and end in Thee; |
| | Brightness of God's glory |
| | Thou, eternally. |
| | Favored beyond measure |
| | They Thy face who see; |
| | May we, gracious Savior, |
| | Share this ecstasy. |
