Thou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb,
I love to hear of Thee;
No music like Thy charming Name,
|: Is half so sweet to me. :|
O let me ever hear Thy voice
In mercy to me speak!
And in my Priest, will I rejoice,
|: My great Melchizedek. :|
My Jesus shall be still my theme,
While in this world I stay;
I’ll sing my Jesus’ lovely Name
|: When all things else decay. :|
When I appear in yonder cloud,
With all Thy favoured throng,
Then I will sing more sweet, more loud,
|: And Christ shall be my song. :|

|: And Christ shall be our song. :|
