(Dear name by heav'n and earth ador'd!)
Fain would our hearts and voices raise
A chearful song of sacred praise.
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.
3 Yet while around his board we meet,
And humbly worship at his feet;
O let our warm affections move,
In glad returns of grateful love!
4 Let faith our feeble senses aid,
To see thy wond'rous love display'd,
Thy broken flesh, thy bleeding veins,
Thy dreadful agonizing pains.
5 Let humble penitential woe,
With painful, pleasing anguish flow;
And thy forgiving smiles impart
Life, hope, and joy to ev'ry heart. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17
