Lord Jesus, to tell of Thy love,
Our souls shall for ever delight,
And join with the blessèd above
In praises by day and by night.
Wherever we follow Thee, Lord,
Admiring, adoring, we see
That love which
was stronger than death
Flow out without limit, and free.
Descending from glory on high,
With men Thy delight was to dwell;
Contented, our Surety to die,
By dying to save us from hell.
Enduring the grief and the shame,
And bearing our sins on the Cross,
O who would not boast of Thy love,
And count the world’s glory but dross!
---Alternative verses---
Lord Jesus, to tell of Thy love
Our souls shall for ever delight,
And sing of Thy glory above,
In praises by day and by night.
Enduring the grief and the shame,
Thou barest our sins on the cross,
Oh! who would not boast of this love,
And count the world's glory but loss?
