9025. Singing For Jesus! Praising His Name!

1 Singing for Jesus! praising His name!
Gladly our tongues we employ;
Holiest service, loftiest aim!
Purest of earthly joy.
Blow, ye breezes, gently blow;
Spread our anthem far and wide:
Jesus all the world must know:
He for all was crucified.

2 Praying to Jesus! lowly we bow!
Weeping, our sins we confess;
Faithful the promise! sacred the vow!
Jesus is waiting to bless.
Hear in Heaven Thy dwelling place:
Send the answer far and wide:
He who freely gave His grace,
He for all was crucified.

3 Working for Jesus! striving to save
Children from sorrow and sin!
Helping the helpless! freeing the slave!
Striving a heaven to win.
Aid us, brothers, sisters, all;
Send the tidings far and wide:
Jesus saves from sin and thrall;
He for all was crucified.

4 Resting with Jesus! labor is o’er!
Stilled are the rough waves of strife;
Angels sing welcome to the blest shore,
Death does but lead us to life.
Children, raise anew your songs;
Send the echoes far and wide:
Rest in Christ, ye weary throngs:
He for all was crucified.
