77a. O Jesus We Adore Thee

1 O Jesus, we adore thee,
Upon the cross, our King;
We bow our hearts before thee;
Thy gracious Name we sing;
That Name hath brought salvation,
That Name, in life our stay;
Our peace, our consolation
When life shall fade away.

2 Ah, Lord, our sins arraigned thee;
And nailed thee to the tree;
Our pride, O Lord, disdained thee;
Yet deign our hope to be.
O glorious King, we bless thee,
No longer pass thee by;
O Jesus, we confess thee,
Our Lord enthroned on high.

3 Thy wounds, thy grief beholding,
With thee, O Lord, we grieve.
Thee in our hearts enfolding,
Our hearts thy wounds receive:
Lord, grant to us remission;
Life through thy death restore;
Yea, grant us the fruition
Of life for evermore.
