Lyrics

How I love to speak for Je­sus,
Every day and ev­ery hour;
How I love to sing His prais­es,
And to trust His sav­ing pow­er,
And to trust His sav­ing pow­er.

How I love to work for Je­sus,
For He la­bored hard for me;
When He pur­chased my re­demp­tion,
On the cross of Cal­va­ry,
On the cross of Cal­va­ry.

Jesus, I my cross have tak­en,
I will bear it by Thy grace;
Help me ev­er to be faith­ful,
Till I see Thee face to face,
Till I see Thee face to face.
