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.
