Lyrics

Sing the love and pow­er of Je­sus—
Have you not new trea­sure found?
Tender mer­cies of the morn­ing,
Scattering glo­ry all around?

Refrain

Sing the love and pow­er of Je­sus,
Let the hal­le­lu­jahs roll;
Jesus, Je­sus, won­der­ful Sav­ior,
Oh, what mu­sic to the soul!

Sing the love and power of Je­sus,
Have you grace enough to­day?
To the store­house ne­ver emp­ty,
Have you found the pro­mised way?

Refrain

Sing the love and pow­er of Je­sus,
On the mount or in the vale;
Are you day by day vic­to­ri­ous?
In His might do you pre­vail?

Refrain

Sing the love and pow­er of Je­sus,
Are your gar­ments clean and white?
Are you rea­dy for the ci­ty
Having Je­sus as its light?
