Christ My Song - 689

We'll praise thee, glorious Lord - Love displayed
(John Nelson Darby/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Love displayed.

(1881)

1. We'll praise thee, glorious Lord,
  who died to set us free;
no earthly songs can joy afford
  like heavenly melody! (PDF - Midi)

2. Love that no suffering stayed
  we'll praise – true Love divine;
Love that for us atonement made;
  Love that has made us thine.

3. Love in thy lonely life
  of sorrow here below;
thy words of grace, with mercy rife,
  make grateful praises flow!

4. Love that on death's dark vale
  its sweetest odours spread,
where sin o'er all seemed to prevail
  redemption glory shed.

5. And now we see thee risen,
  who once for us hast died,
seated above the highest heaven,
  the Father's Glorified.

6. Soon wilt thou take thy throne,
  thy foes thy footstool made,
and take us with thee for thine own –
  in glory love displayed!

7. Jesus, we wait for thee,
  with thee to have our part;
what can full joy and blessing be
  but being where thou art!
