God of glory, God of grace

God of glory, God of grace,
we adore you!
God now seen in Jesus’ face,
we adore you!
Known are all your works of old,
glories that cannot be told;
gracious Shepherd of one fold,
we adore you,
we adore you.

2. Judah’s Lion, strong to save,
we adore you!
Mighty victor of the grave,
we adore you!
Final Adam, second Man,
lowly Jesus, great ‘I AM’,
God’s true Servant, man’s pure Lamb,
we adore you,
we adore you.

3. Heaven’s costliest, fairest Son,
we adore you!
Given for a world undone,
we adore you!
Broken for us on the cross,
counting all the shame but dross
our great gain at your great cost,
we adore you,
we adore you.

4. Risen, reigning, conquering Son,
we adore you!
Prince of Peace, eternal One,
we adore you!
Thanks we give, with hearts aflame,
for each virtue of your name,
Jesus, evermore the same,
we adore you,
we adore you.

5. Soon, with all the blood-bought throng,
we’ll adore you;
sing the new, eternal song
and adore you.
Falling down before your face,
all your ways of love we’ll trace;
for the glory of your grace
we’ll adore you,
we’ll adore you.

6. Then, through your eternal reign,
we’ll adore you.
Praise with hearts that know no stain,
and adore you.
Then from every ransomed voice,
saved by an eternal choice,
with one heart we will rejoice,
and adore you,
yes, adore you!
