The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4541

4541. Now, in a Song of Grateful Praise

1. Now, in a song of grateful praise,
To my dear Lord my voice I’ll raise;
With all His saints I’ll join to tell—
My Jesus has done all things well.

Refrain
Dear Jesus is the One I love,
Oh, bless His name! He died for me;
His blood now cleanses me from sin,
Dear Jesus now He sets me free.

2. All worlds His glorious power confess,
His wisdom all His works express;
But oh! His love what tongue can tell?
My Jesus has done all things well. [Refrain]

3. How sovereign, powerful and free
Has been His love to sinful me!
He plucked me from the jaws of hell—
My Jesus has done all things well. [Refrain]
