I love the Lord my Sav­ior,
Because He hear­eth me,
Forever I will praise Him;
As long as life shall be.
Though sor­rows may sur­round me
And pains of death may come,
My Sav­ior, He is near me,
Why should I fear to roam?

And when I call He hear­eth,
He bless­eth ev­en now,
He holds and keeps and saves me,
When at His feet I bow.
Then will I ev­er praise Him,
For all His love to me,
Until in yon bright ci­ty,
I gain sweet li­ber­ty.

While liv­ing I will praise Him,
When dy­ing I will sing,
He lives to reign for­ev­er,
My Sav­ior and my king.
I love the Lord my Sav­ior,
Because He lov­eth me,
Forever shall I praise Him,
Thro’ all eter­ni­ty.
