Text
SONG of my praise, O Son of Man,
Our minstrel strains shall swell
With ringing notes to tell Thy ways,
For Thou dost all things well:
For Thou dost all things well, we sing
With flowing melody,
And voice Thy praise in joyful lays--
Redeemed by grace are we!
LIGHT of my life, O Son of Man,
Upon the steep incline
Of Hope's rough track and Faith's strait way
Thy grace and glory shine:
Thy grace and glory shine, we sing
As up the path we speed;
To where Thou art--to have our part--
The "light of life" doth lead.
JOY of my soul, O Son of Man,
Thou cam'st to seek and save;
Scourged, slain, yet Thou didst rise again,
In triumph o'er the grave;
In triumph o'er the grave, we sing
And laud Thy victory;
Exalted now, each knee must bow
Before Thy majesty.
HOPE of my heart, O Son of Man,
The Kingdom shall be given
To thee, the King and Lord of all;--
Come, rule o'er earth and heaven!
Come, rule o'er earth and heaven, we sing--
God's angels wait on Thee!
With peace and truth and joy shine forth,
Let all Thy glory see!
