Join All the Glorious Names
By Isaac Watts
Lyrics
1. Join all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love, and pow'r
That ever mortals knew,
That angels ever bore:
All are too poor
To Speak his worth,
Too poor to set
My Savior forth.
Of wisdom, love, and pow'r
That ever mortals knew,
That angels ever bore:
All are too poor
To Speak his worth,
Too poor to set
My Savior forth.
2. Jesus, my great High Priest
Offered his blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside:
His pow'rful blood
Did once atone,
And now it pleads
Before the throne.
Offered his blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside:
His pow'rful blood
Did once atone,
And now it pleads
Before the throne.
3. My Advocate appears
For my defense on high;
The Father bows his ears
And lays his thunder by;
Not all that Hell
Or sin can say
Shall turn his heart,
His love away.
For my defense on high;
The Father bows his ears
And lays his thunder by;
Not all that Hell
Or sin can say
Shall turn his heart,
His love away.
4. Should all the hosts of death
And pow'rs of Hell unknown
Put their most dreadful forms
Of rage and mischief on,
I shall be safe,
For Christ displays
Superior pow'r
And guardian grace.
And pow'rs of Hell unknown
Put their most dreadful forms
Of rage and mischief on,
I shall be safe,
For Christ displays
Superior pow'r
And guardian grace.

About This Hymn
“Join All the Glorious Names” is one of Isaac Watts’s finest Christological hymns. First published in 1709 in Hymns and Spiritual Songs, it is a majestic call for all believers to unite their voices in praise of Jesus Christ, whose name surpasses every other. Watts begins by summoning all titles of honor, whether earthly or heavenly, and declares that none can fully express the greatness of the Savior.
The hymn moves through several roles of Christ—Prophet, Priest, and King—reflecting classic Reformation theology. Watts exalts Christ as the Prophet who reveals God’s truth, the Priest who offers atonement and intercedes for believers, and the King who reigns with absolute authority. Each stanza unfolds a different aspect of Christ’s person and work, leading the worshiper into a deeper appreciation of His glory.
Over the centuries, this hymn has been sung in both traditional and modern arrangements, often during worship services that emphasize the majesty and lordship of Christ. Its theological depth and poetic strength have made it a lasting favorite in many hymnals.
