Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A hymn by English clergyman Thomas Haweis (1734–1820) meditating on the boundless love of Christ expressed through his incarnation and atoning death. It invites believers to join the heavenly chorus in ceaseless praise.
Verse 1
Lord Jesus, to tell of Thy love
Our souls shall for ever delight,
And join with the blessed above
In praises by day and by night.
Verse 2
Wherever we follow Thee, Lord,
Admiring, adoring, we see
That love which was stronger than death
Flow out without limit, and free.
Verse 3
Descending from glory on high,
With men Thy delight was to dwell;
Contented, our Surety to die,
By dying to save us from hell.
Verse 4
Enduring the grief and the shame,
And bearing our sins on the Cross,
O who would not boast of Thy love,
And count the world's glory but dross.
