Lyics

O Jesus, the giver of all we enjoy!

Our lives to thy honor we wish to employ;

With praises unceasing we'll sing of thy name!

Thy goodness increasing, thy love we'll proclaim.



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' king grace,

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



In this blest employment our spirits shall rest,

In sweetest enjoyment on Jesus' own breast;

We'll drink of the streams of Immanuel's love,

And bask in the beams of his glory above.
