222 5 my Saviour, Shield, and Sun, Shepherd, Brother, Husband, Friend, Every precious name in one, I will love thee without end.

1 MY song shall bless the Lord of all, My praise shall climb to his abode. Thee, Saviour, by that name I call The great supreme, the mighty God.

2 Without beginning or decline, Object of faith and not of sense Eternal ages saw him shine, He shines eternal ages hence.

3 As much, when in the manger laid, Almighty Ruler of the sky, As when the six days work he made Fill d all the morning-stars with joy.

4 Of all the crowns Jehovah bears, Salvation is his dearest claim : That gracious sound well pleased he hears ? And owns Emmanuel for his name.

5 A cheerful confidence I feel, My well-placed hopes with joy I see ; My bosom glows with heav nly zeal To worship Him who died for me.

6 As man he pities my complaint, His power and truth are all divine He will not fail, he cannot faint, Salvation s sure, and must be mine.

1 Now let us join with hearts and tongues, And emulate the angels songs; Yea, sinners may address their King In songs that angels cannot sing.
