We, Jesus, have heard Thy wonderful fame

Verse 1
We, Jesus, have heard Thy wonderful fame,
The power of thy word To sinners proclaim,
With hearty thanksgiving Acknowledge thy grace,
The living, the living Should publish thy praise.

Verse 2
Our spirits were dead, And buried in sin;
But waken’d and freed From death we have been,
The true Resurrection We found in our graves:
And Jesus’ affection Whole multitudes saves.

Verse 3
Come then at his call Our Jesus to meet!
His wonders on all He waits to repeat:
The proofs of his favour Ye all shall receive,
And friends of your Saviour And witnesses live.
