199. We Sing to Thee, O Son Divine

1. We sing to Thee, O Son divine!
May to that holy throne of Thine
In chorus rise our songs of praise;
Incline Thine ear toward us always!
We sing to Thee!

2. O Lamb of God, our thanks to Thee
That Thou upon the sacred tree
Didst win for us eternal grace
And in Thy heaven an honored place:
We give Thee thanks!

3. We now rejoice, O Christ, our Light,
In Thy return form death’s dark night;
Thou livest and in Thee we live,
And Thou to us wilt heaven give:
We now rejoice!

4. We now are Thine, O Prince of Light!
Thy flock whom Thou dost lead aright;
All that we are, and have, and own,
We lay before Thy glorious throne:
We now are Thine!

5. Draw us to Thee, exalted Friend!
Thy hand from heaven to us extend
That we may ever follow Thee
Through all our pain and misery:
Draw us to Thee!

6. Abide with us, Immanuel!
Thou Prince most strong in Israel;
Our Strength and Fortress be, we pray,
And lead us safely all the way:
Abide with us!
