To Jesus our exalted Lord, Dear name by heaven and earth adored

Verse 1

To Jesus, our exalted Lord, That Name in heaven and earth adored, Fain would our hearts and voices raise A cheerful song of sacred praise.

Verse 2

But all the notes which mortals know Are weak, and languishing, and low; Far, far above our humble songs, The theme demands immortal tongues.

Verse 3

Yet whilst around His board we meet, And worship at His sacred feet, O let our warm affections move In glad returns of grateful love.

Verse 4

Yes, Lord, we love, and we adore, But long to know and love Thee more; And, whilst we take the bread and wine, Desire to feed on joys divine.
