We know Thee, Lord, as risen

1
We know Thee, Lord, as risen,
Thou Firstborn from the dead;
We see Thee now ascended,
The church’s glorious Head,
In Thee by grace accepted,
The heart and mind set free
To think of all Thy glory,
As now made one with Thee.
2
For Thou art Head o’er all things,
Thou hast the highest fame.
As Man, Thou art exalted;
Supreme Thy glorious name!
Supreme Thy love, for Calv’ry
Has shown its mighty power;
Thy love was proved victorious
In sorrow’s darkest hour.
3
Soon every heart shall prize Thee;
All tongues Thy name shall praise.
Soon all shall recognize Thee
And shouts of welcome raise.
What blessing now to know Thee,
In boundless love to bask,
And offer praise unceasing;
To praise is all we ask.
4
Thy name all names excelleth.
Thy fame all fame transcends.
Thy love all love exceedeth,
And never, never ends.
With joy we sing Thy praises
As one with Thee above;
Eternal are Thy glories;
Eternal is Thy love.
