Blessing GOD for spiritual Blessings in CHRIST. Ephes. i. 3
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
Loud be thy Name ador'd, Thy Titles spread abroad, Of Christ our glorious Lord The Father and the GOD! Thro' such a Son, Thy Churches Head, Thine Honours spread O'er Worlds unknown.
Ten thousand Gifts of Love From Thee thro' him descend; And bear our Souls above To Joys that never end: To Heav'n they soar, Sustain'd by GOD, And thro' the Road His Arm adore.
Ten thousand Songs of Praise Shall by the Saviour rise, And thro' eternal Days Shall eccho round the Skies. New Shouts we'll give, And loud proclaim The honour'd Name, By which we live.
