LyicsAlmighty love inspire
My heart with pure desire,
Until the sacred fire
My soul does renew;
I love the blessed Jesus,
On whom all heaven gazes,
And symphony increases,
Above the ethereal blue,
[Chorus]
O give him glory!
O give him glory!
O give him glory!
For glory is his own.
I will give him glory,
I will give him glory,
I will give him glory,
For glory is his own.
My tender hearted Jesus,
Thy love thy soul amazes,
Who came from heav'n to save us,
When lost and undone;
No angel could redeem us,
No seraph could retrieve us,
No arm could relieve us,
But Jesus alone.
O give him glory, &c.
In him I have believ'd,
He has my soul retriev'd,
From sin he has redeem'd
My spirit lost and dead.
And now I love my Savior,
For I am in his favour,
And hope with him forever
The golden streets to tread,
O give him glory, &c.
Yet here a while I stay,
In hope of that glad day,
When I am call'd away,
To the mansions above;
There to enjoy the treasure
Of unconsuming pleasure,
And shout in highest measure,
Hallelujahs of love.
O give him glory, &c.
