THY CONQUERING NAME, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Jesus, my strength and righteousness
Last Line: Faith in a dying lord.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Jesus, my strength and righteousness,
My Saviour and my King,
Triumphantly Thy name I bless--
Thy conqu'ring name I sing.

Thou, Lord, hast magnified Thy name;
Thou hast maintain'd Thy cause;
And I enjoy the glorious shame--
The scandal of Thy cross.

Thou gavest me to speak Thy word,
In the appointed hour;
I have proclaim'd my dying Lord,
And felt Thy Spirit's power.

O let me have Thy presence still;
Set as a flint my face,
To show the counsel of Thy will,
Which saves a world by grace.

O let me never blush to own
The glorious gospel word;
Which saves a world through faith alone,
Faith in a dying Lord.
