Lyrics

O Sav­ior, precious Sav­ior,
Whom yet unseen we love!
O name of might and favor,
All other names above!
We worship Thee, we bless Thee,
To Thee, O Christ, we sing;
We praise Thee, and confess Thee
Our holy Lord and king.

O bringer of sal­va­tion,
Who wondrously hast wrought,
Thyself the revelation
Of love beyond our thought;
We worship Thee, we bless Thee,
To Thee, O Christ, we sing;
We praise Thee, and confess Thee
Our gracious Lord and king.

In Thee all fullness dwelleth,
All grace and power divine;
The glo­ry that excelleth,
O Son of God, is Thine;
We worship Thee, we bless Thee,
To Thee, O Christ, we sing:
We praise Thee, and confess Thee
Our glo­ri­ous Lord and king.

O grant the consummation
Of this our song above,
In endless adoration,
And ev­er­last­ing love!
Then shall we praise and bless Thee
Where perfect praises ring,
And ev­er­more confess Thee
Our Sav­ior and our king.
