Lyrics

Oh! my soul, bless thou Je­ho­vah!
God of love and grace art Thou;
Thou alone art wise and ho­ly;
At Thy feet I hum­bly bow.

Thou Thy Son hast free­ly giv­en
All our sins to bear away;
On the cross He made atone­ment,
Then to glo­ry led the way.

He for us re­ceived the Spir­it,
Precious gift of love di­vine,
Sheds Him forth up­on Thy child­ren;
Now for­ev­er He is mine.

Jesus soon again re­turn­eth!
Evermore with Him I’ll be,
Like Him through the end­less ag­es,
Saved for all eter­ni­ty.
