8258. Present Salvation

1 I’ll praise the Lord for joy below,
That fills my soul to overflow;
I’ll praise the Lord for grace divine
To feel and know that He is mine.

Refrain:
Praise ye the Lord, while ages roll,
From sea to sea, from pole to pole!
Eternal life’s begun below;
His joy and peace thro’ grace I know.

2 I’ll praise the Lord for love that glows;
For peace that like a river flows;
I’ll praise the Lord for grace and power
To live like Jesus every hour. [Refrain]

3 I’ll praise the Lord for His control;
For love divine, that saves the soul;
For love that guards from all my foes,
For love that bears my griefs and woes. [Refrain]

4 I’ll praise the Lord yet more and more;
While pressing t’ward yon shining shore;
Life’s troubles sore are past and gone,
I’m resting now in Christ the Son. [Refrain]
