Thou Dear Redeemer, Dying Lamb

Thou dear Re­deem­er

dy­ing Lamb

I love to hear of Thee;

No mu­sic like Thy charm­ing name

Is half so sweet to me

Is half so sweet to me.

O let me ev­er hear Thy voice

In mercy to me speak!

And in my Priest

will I re­joice

My great Mel­chi­ze­dek

My great Mel­chi­ze­dek.

My Je­sus shall be still my theme

While in this world I stay;

I’ll sing my Je­sus’ love­ly name

When all things else de­cay

When all things else de­cay.

When I ap­pear in yon­der cloud

With all Thy fa­vored throng

Then I will sing more sweet

more loud

And Christ shall be my song

And Christ shall be my song.
