We Hail Thee, Lord

1 We hail Thee, Lord, this resurrection morning!
We sing Thy conquest o'er the darksome grave!
We praise Thy grace, our life and love adoring!
We trust Thy power, omnipotent to save!

2 We tell our hearts of Thy divine compassion,
Which brought Thee down from heaven to earthly night!
That man, redeemed, from every land and nation,
Might rise to walk in Thy supernal light.

3 We own Thee, Saviour! standing now before Thee;
We bow our hearts in worshipful employ.
All-worthy Thou, that all Thy saints adore Thee--
The Fountain of our love, and peace, and joy!

4 At God's right hand we know Thee interceding:
And we are bold, in drawing very nigh.
Assured of pardon, through Thy priestly pleading,
We lift our hearts and voices up on high!

5 O Saviour Christ! be with us on life's ocean;
And make us brave, till storm and stress shall cease.
Our Pilot Thou! through all the wild commotion,
Guide Thou our bark into eternal peace.
