Jesus, Darling of Heaven

Jesus, Darling of Heaven

 

Jesus, darling of Heaven

Hero of the angel's song

Lord of Majesty on High

For You alone we long.

Jesus Darling of Heaven

One day the darling of Earth

For in that day each knee shall bend

Each tongue shall confess your worth.

 

Oh Darling of Heaven You are the One

To whom all high hymns of praise are due.

Dearly beloved, eternal son,

Lord we will worship You.

 

Jesus Darling of Heaven

Though Multitudes surround your throne

We have an entry made by your blood

The heavenly hosts have not known

Oh Jesus Darling of Heaven

Be our portion tried and true

You call us the apple of your eye

Delight in us as we delight in You!

 

Oh Darling of Heaven You are the One

To whom all high hymns of praise are due.

Dearly beloved, eternal son,

Lord we will worship You.
