1. Jesus, wondrous Savior!
  Christ, of kings the King!
  Angels fall before Thee,
  Prostrate, worshipping;
  Fairest they confess Thee
  In the heav'n above.
  We would sing Thee fairest
  Here in hymns of love.
  
2. All earth's flowing pleasures
  Were a wintry sea;
  Heav'n itself without Thee
  Dark as night would be.
  Lamb of God! Thy glory
  Is the light above.
  Lamb of God! Thy glory
  Is the life of love.
  
3. Life is death, if severed
  From Thy throbbing heart.
  Death with life abundant
  At Thy touch would start.
  Worlds and men and angels
  All consist in Thee,
  Yet Thou camest to us
  In humility.
  
4. Jesus! All perfections
  Rise and end in Thee;
  Brightness of God's glory
  Thou, eternally.
  Favored beyond measure
  They Thy face who see;
  May we, gracious Savior,
  Share this ecstasy.
