1.
Jesus Christ, God's only Son, 
praise and honor be to thee! 
Thou the great enthroned One, 
around whom throngs of angels be. 
Many thousand watchers there 
lift up joyful praise and prayer. 

2.
Lift, O Lord, thy gracious face, 
give us of thy holy peace. 
May the light of thy sweet grace 
in our midst, Lord, never cease. 
Lead thy lambs, we humbly pray, 
in and out, day after day. 

3.
Bless, O Lord, this church of thine, 
which thou with thy blood didst buy.
Fill us with thy grace divine; 
'twas for us that thou didst die. 
Thou hast chosen us to be 
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
