Author: Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #122 (1844) Topics: Offices and Characters of Christ First Line: Join all the glorious names Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names Of wisdom, love, and power, That ever mortals knew, That angels ever bore; All are too mean to speak his worth, Too mean to set my Saviour forth. 2 But O what gentle terms What condescending ways, Does our Redeemer use To teach his heavenly grace! My eyes with joy and wonder see What forms of love he bears for me. 3 [Arrayed in mortal flesh, He like an angel stands, And holds the promises And pardons in his hands; Commissioned from his Father’s throne, To make his grace to mortals known.] 4 [Great Prophet of my God, My tongue would bless thy name; By thee the joyful news Of our salvation came; The joyful news of sins forgiven, Of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.] 5 [Be thou my Counsellor, My Pattern, and my Guide; And through this desert land, Still keep me near thy side; O let my feet ne’er run astray, Nor rove, nor seek the crooked way!] 6 [I love my Shepherd’s voice; His watchful eyes shall keep My wandering soul among The thousands of his sheep; He feeds his flock, he calls their names; His bosom bears the tender lambs.] 7 [To this dear Surety’s hand Will I commit my cause; He answers and fulfils His Father’s broken laws. Behold my soul at freedom set; My Surety paid the dreadful debt.] 8 [Jesus, my great High Priest, Offered his blood and died; My guilty conscience seeks No sacrifice beside. His powerful blood did once atone, And now it pleads before the throne.] 9 [My Advocate appears For my defence on high; The Father bows his ears, And lays his thunder by. Not all that hell or sin can say, Shall turn his heart, his love away.] 10 [My dear, almighty Lord, My Conqueror and my King, Thy sceptre and thy sword, Thy reigning grace I sing; Thine is the power; behold, I sit, In willing bonds, beneath thy feet.] 11 [Now let my soul arise, And tread the tempter down! My Captain leads me forth To conquest and a crown. A feeble saint shall win the day, Though death and hell obstruct the way.] 12 Should all the hosts of death, And powers of hell unknown, Put their most dreadful forms Of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays Superior power and guardian grace.

Here the sacred records show Sinners black but comely too. 7 Saints dejected, cease to mourn; Faith shall soon to vision turn; Ye the kingdom shall obtain, And with Christ exalted reign.
