Lyrics

O Je­sus, my Sav­ior, with Thee I am blest,
My life and sal­va­tion, my joy and my rest;
Thy name be my theme, and Thy love be my song;
Thy grace shall in­spire both my heart and my tongue.

Oh, who’s like my Sav­ior, He’s Sa­lem’s bright king;
He smiles and He loves me, and helps me to sing;
I’ll praise Him, I’ll praise Him with notes loud and clear,
While ri­vers of plea­sure my spir­it shall cheer.

I’m hap­py, I’m hap­py, oh, won­drous ac­count!
My joys are im­mor­tal, I stand on the mount;
I gaze on my trea­sure and long to be there,
With Je­sus and an­gels and kin­dred so dear.
