I Cor. i. 23, 24.
O that Thy Name may
be sounded
Afar
over earth and sea,
Till the dead
awaken and praise Thee,
And
the dumb lips sing to Thee!
Sound forth as a
song of triumph
Wherever
man's foot has trod,
The despised, the
derided message,
The
foolishness of God.
Jesus, dishonoured
and dying,
A
felon on either side--
Jesus, the song of
the drunkards,
Jesus
the Crucified!
Name
of God's tender comfort,
Name of His glorious power,
Name that is song and sweetness,
The strong everlasting tower.
Jesus the Lamb accepted,
Jesus the Priest on His throne--
Jesus the King who is coming--
Jesus, Thy Name
alone!
