Sweet is the Saviour of His Name
Who suffered in His people’s stead;
His portion here, reproach and shame:
He liveth now; He once was dead.
He once was dead; the very same
Who sits on yonder throne above;
Who bears in heaven
the greatest Name,
Whom angels serve,
whom angels love.
He once was dead; the very same
Who made the worlds—
a work of power,
Who now upholds the mighty frame,
And keeps it till the final hour.
He once was dead; but now He lives,
His glory fills all heaven above;
Its blessedness to heaven He gives,
The fountain He of joy and love.
His people shall His triumph share,
With Him shall live,
and with Him reign;
In heaven their joy is full, for There
They see THE LAMB for sinners slain.
