Jehovah Jesus
Olney Hymns, William Cowper, from Cowper's Poems, Sheldon & Company, New York
My song shall bless the Lord of all, Without beginning or decline, As much, when in the manger laid, Of all the crowns Jehovah bears, A cheerful confidence I feel, As man, He pities my complaint,My praise shall climb to His abode;
Thee, Saviour, by that name I call,
The great Supreme, the mighty God.
Object of faith and not of sense;
Eternal ages saw Him shine,
He shines eternal ages hence.
Almighty Ruler of the sky,
As when the six days' work He made
Fill'd all the morning stars with joy.
Salvation is His dearest claim;
That gracious sound well pleased He hears,
And owns Emmanuel for His name.
My well-placed hopes with joy I see;
My bosom glows with heavenly zeal,
To worship Him who died for me.
His power and truth are all divine;
He will not fail, He cannot faint;
