149. Why Do I Sing about Jesus?

1 Deep in my heart there's a gladness,
Jesus has saved me from sin!
Praise to His name, what a Saviour!
Cleansing without and within.

Refrain:
Why do I sing about Jesus?
Why is He precious to me?
He is my Lord and my Saviour,
Dying! He set me free!

2 Only a glimpse of His goodness,
That was sufficient for me;
Only one look at the Saviour,
Then was my spirit set free. (Refrain)

3 He is the fairest of fair ones,
He is the Lily, the Rose;
Rivers of mercy surround Him,
Grace, love, and pity He shows. (Refrain)
