Lyics

I BLESS the Christ of God,

I rest on love divine,

And with unfaltering lip and heart,

I call this Saviour mine.



His cross dispels each doubt;

I bury in his tomb

Each thought of unbelief and fear,

Each lingering shade of gloom.



I praise the God of peace;

I trust his truth and might;

He calls me his, I call him mine

My God, my joy, my light.



'Tis he who saveth me,

And freely pardon gives;

I love because he loveth me;

I live because he lives.
