Melodious Sonnets ‎#78

78. Glory to Jesus Forever

1 O, my song is ever new and my faith is bright and clear,
Glory to Jesus! I’m happy in his love;
To a mansion in the sky I can read my title clear,
Glory to Jesus forever!

Refrain:
Praise him, praise him, praise him, O my soul!
In the precious blood of Calvary he cleans’d and made me whole;
I will sing redeeming love, while eternal ages roll,
Glory to Jesus forever!

2 O, the story of his grace, I can tell it o’er and o’er,
Glory to Jesus! I’m happy in his love;
For it brings to me a joy that I never knew before,
Glory to Jesus forever! [Refrain]

3 I have left my all to him and I know he cares for me,
Glory to Jesus! I’m happy in his love;
In his mercy I can trust, for his guiding hand I see,
Glory to Jesus forever! [Refrain]

4 I am on my journey home,—hallelujah to his name,—
Glory to Jesus! I’m happy in his love;
With the ransom’d of the Lord, soon to join the loud acclaim,
Glory to Jesus forever! [Refrain]
