III. A Song of Praise to JESUS

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

2 All worlds his glorious power confess;
His wisdom all his works express;
But O his love! what tongue can tell?
My Jesus has done all things well.

3 His sov'reign mercy, full and free;
His heav'nly love to sinful me,
Has pluck'd me from the jaws of hell:
My Jesus has done all things well.

4 I spurn'd his grace— I broke his laws,
And then he undertook my cause;
To save me, though I did rebel:
My Jesus has done all things well.

5 And since my soul has known his love,
What mercy has he made me prove!
Mercies which doth all praise excel—
My Jesus has done all things well.

6 If e'er my Saviour or my God,
Have on me laid their chast'ning rod,
I knew, whatever me befel,
My Jesus whould do all things well.

7 Though many a fiery flaming dart
Be aim'd to wound me to the heart;
With this I all their rage repel,
My Jesus has done all things well.

8 Oft times my Lord his face doth hide,
To make me pray, or kill my pride;
Yet on my mind it still doth dwell,
My Jesus has done all things well.

9 Soon I shall pass this vale of Death,
And in his arms resign my breath;
Then, then my happy soul shall tell,
My Jesus has done all things well.

10 And when to that bright world I rise,
And join sweet Seraphs in the skies,
Above the rest this note shall swell,
My Jesus has done all things well.
