How charmingly sounds
   the Word of the Lord!
Where witness abounds,
   that man is restored
To God, his possession,
   dear Jesus, in Thee,
From sin and transgression
   forever set free.

 

How glorious the name
   of Jesus, our King!
Thou crucified Lamb,
   Thine honors we sing:
Our hope and salvation
   to world without end;
Our nearest relation,
   and faithfulest friend.
