Hymn 25
Jehovah-Jesus
Jehovah-Jesus
My song shall bless the Lord of all,
My praise shall climb to his abode;
Thee, Saviour, by that name I call,
The great Supreme, the mighty God.
Without beginning, or decline,
Object of faith, and not of sense;
Eternal ages saw him shine,
He shines eternal ages hence.
As much, when in the manger laid,
Almighty ruler of the sky;
As when the six days work he made,
Fill’d all the morning-stars with joy.
Of all the crowns Jehovah bears,
Salvation is his dearest claim;
That gracious sound well pleas’d he hears,
And owns Emmanuel for his name.
A cheerful confidence I feel,
My well-plac’d hopes with joy I see;
My bosom glows with heav’nly zeal
To worship him who dy’d for me.
As man, he pities my complaint,
his pow’r and truth are all divine;
He will not fail, he cannot faint,
Salvation’s sure, and must be mine.
