315. Conquering kings their titles take

Conquering kings their titles take

From the foes they captive make:

Jesus, by a nobler deed,

From the thousands He hath freed.

Yes; none other name is given

Unto mortals under heaven,

Which can make the dead arise,

And exalt them to the skies.

That which Christ so hardly wrought,

That which He so dearly bought,

That salvation, mortals, say,

Will ye madly cast away?

Rather gladly for that Name

Bear the cross, endure the shame;

Joyfully for Him to die

Is not death, but victory.

Jesu, who dost condescend

To be called the sinner's Friend,

Hear us as to Thee we pray,

Glorying in Thy Name to-day.

Glory to the Father be,

Glory, Holy Son, to Thee,

Glory to the Holy Ghost,

From the saints and angel-host.
