The Names of Christ

Join all the Names of Love and Power That ever Men or Angels bore, All are too mean to speak thy Worth, Saviour, or set thy Glories forth.

But o! what condescending Ways Thou take'st to teach thy heavenly Grace: My Eyes with Joy and Wonder see What Forms of Love thou bear'st for me.

Great Prophet; let me bless thy Name! By thee the joyful Traings came, Of Wrath appeas'd, of Sins forgiven, Of Hell subdued, and Peace with Heaven.

My bright Example and my Gaide, I wou'd be walking near thy Side: O never let me run astray, Nor follow the forbidden Way.

Jesus my great high Priest has died, I seek no Sacrifice beside; Thy Blood did once for all attone, And now it pleads before thy Throne.

My Lord, my Conqueror and my King, Thy Scepter and thy Sword I sing, Thine is the Victory and I sit A joyful Subject at thy Feet.

Aspire, my Soul, to glorious Deeds, The Captain of Salvation leads: March on, nor fear to win the Day, Tho' Death and Hell obstruct the Way

Shou'd Death and Hell and Powers unknown Put on their Forms of Mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays Salvation in more powerful Ways.
