4. Dear Lord, while we adoring pay Our humble thanks to Thee, May every heart with rapture say, “The Savior died for me!” 5. O may the sweet, the blissful theme Fill every heart and tongue Till strangers love the charming name And join the sacred song! Anne Steele, 1760. 102 C. M. Come, let us join our cheerful songs With angels round the throne. Ten thousand thousand are their tongues, But all their joys are one. 2. “Worthy the Lamb that died,” they cry, “To be exalted thus.” “Worthy the Lamb,” our lips reply, For He was slain for us. 3. Jesus is worthy to receive Honor and power divine; And blessings more than we can give, Be, Lord, forever Thine. 4. Let all that dwell above the sky, And air, and earth, and seas Conspire to lift Thy glories high And speak Thine endless praise! 5. The whole creation join in one To bless the sacred name Of Him that sits upon the throne, And to adore the Lamb. Isaac Watts, 1707. 103 8, 8, 7, 8, 8, 7, 4, 8, 4, 8 O Morning Star, how fair and bright Thou beamest forth in truth and light! O Sovereign meek and lowly! Sweet Root of Jesse, David’s Son, My King and Bridegroom, Thou hast won My heart to love Thee solely! Lovely art Thou, Fair and glorious, All victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o’er all possessing. 2. O King high-born, Pearl dearly won, True Son of God and Mary’s Son, Crown of exceeding glory! My heart calls Thee a Lily, Lord, Pure milk and honey is Thy Word, Thy sweetest Gospel-story. Rose of Sharon, Hail! hosanna! Heavenly Manna, Feed us ever; Lord, I can forget Thee never! 3. Clear Jasper, Ruby fervent red, Deep, deep into my heart now shed Thy love’s pure fire forever; Fill me with joy, grant me to be Thy member, closely joined to Thee, Whom naught from Thee may sever; Toward Thee longing Doth possess me: Come and bless me, For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 4. But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, flesh and blood, Refresh my soul with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden Treasure. Let Thy grace, Lord, Warm and cheer me, O draw near me; Thou hast taught us Thee to seek since Thou hast sought us.
