1
Jesus, our Lord and King,
Thou art our hope and trust;
Thy boundless love and grace we sing,
And of thee we will boast.
2
As sinners saved by grace,
And made alive to God
Thy righteous laws we would embrace,
And tread the heavenly road.
3
Thy wisdom did ordain
This solemn rite, to show
How thou wast plunged in wrath and pain,
To save our souls from woe.
4
We come thy name to own,
And solemnly confess,
Thou art our Life, our Joy, our Crown,
Our Strength, and Righteousness.
