Thy Name We Love Love, Lord Jesus
We sang this beautiful hymn yesterday during the Remembrance meeting. The melody is very catchy--so if you sing it, be prepared to sing it throughout the day!
It is #131 in the black Hymns of Worship and Remembrance hymnbook and you can find more information related to the tune at the Saints Serving site.
Thy Name We Love, Lord Jesus
Thy name we love, Lord Jesus,
And lowly bow before Thee;
And while we live, to Thee we give
All blessing, worship, glory.
We sing aloud Thy praises,
Our hearts and voices blending,
'Tis Thou alone we worthy own,
Thy beauty's all-transcending.
Thy name we love, Lord Jesus;
It tells God's love unbounded
To ruined man ere time began,
Or heav'n and earth were founded.
Thine is a love eternal,
That found in us its pleasure,
That brought Thee low to bear our woe,
And make us Thine own treasure.
Thy name we love, Lord Jesus;
It tells Thy birth so lowly,
Thy patience, grace, Thy gentleness
Thy lonely path, so holy.
Thou wast the "Man of Sorrows;"
Our grief, too, Thou didst bear it;
Our bitter cup Thou drank-est up;
The thorny crown, - didst wear it.
Thy name we love, Lord Jesus;
God's Lamb - Thou wast ordain-ed
To bear our sins (Thy-self all clean),
And hast our guilt sustain-ed;
We see Thee crowned in glory,
Above the heav'ns now seated,
The vict'ry won, Thy work well done,
Our righeousness completed.
