In the Trinity Hymnal, five hymns are set to it, including &#8220;We Come, O Christ, to You&#8221; and &#8220;Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ&#8221; (which we may return to next month). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 Join all the glorious names<br>of wisdom, love, and pow&#8217;r,<br>that ever mortals knew,<br>that angels ever bore:<br>all are too poor to speak his worth,<br>too poor to set my Savior forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2 Great Prophet of my God,<br>my tongue would bless thy name:<br>by thee the joyful news<br>of our salvation came,<br>the joyful news of sins forgiv&#8217;n,<br>of hell subdued and peace with heav&#8217;n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3 Jesus, my great High Priest,<br>offered his blood and died;<br>my guilty conscience seeks<br>no sacrifice beside:<br>his pow&#8217;rful blood did once atone<br>and now it pleads before the throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4 Thou art my Counselor,<br>my pattern, and my Guide,<br>and thou my Shepherd art;<br>O keep me near thy side;<br>nor let my feet e&#8217;er turn astray<br>to wander in the crooked way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5 My Savior and my Lord,<br>my Conqu&#8217;ror and my King,<br>thy scepter and thy sword,<br>thy reigning grace, I sing:<br>thine is the pow&#8217;r; behold I sit<br>in willing bonds beneath thy feet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With today&#8217;s hymn, we have the opportunity to note a common habit in hymn singing among earlier generations.
