Holy Saviour, we adore Thee by Dudley Buck — Lyrics
1 Holy Saviour! we adore Thee,
Seated on the throne of God,
While the heavenly hosts before Thee
Gladly sing Thy praise aloud.
“Thou art worthy! Thou art worthy!
We are ransomed by Thy blood.”
2 Saviour! though the world despised Thee,
Though Thou here wast crucified,
Yet the Father’s glory raised Thee,

About Holy Saviour, we adore Thee
This is a powerful SATB setting of a hymn text, perfect for occasions celebrating the glory and redemptive work of Christ. The English lyrics express profound adoration for the Holy Saviour, acknowledging His sacrifice and ultimate exaltation. The text paints a vivid picture of heavenly worship, contrasting earthly suffering with divine triumph. It calls for a choir to convey the awe and reverence due to Christ as Lord of all creation, and anticipates His glorious return. The music would be well-suited for Eastertide, Ascension, or any service focusing on Christ’s salvific role and eternal reign.
