Lyics

O, Je-sus, the giv-er of all we en-joy!

Our lives to thy hon-or we wish to em-ploy;

With prais-es un-ceas-ing we'll sing of thy name!

Thy good-ness in-creas-ing thy love we'll pro-claim.



The wonderful name of our Jesus we'll sing,

And publish the fame of our Captain and King;

With sweet exultation his goodness we prove;

His name is salvation-his nature is love.



And when to the regions of glory we rise,

And join the bright legions that shout through the skies,

We'll tell the glad story of Jesus' kind grace,

And give him the glory, and honor, and praise.
