46. E'ery Hour for Jesus

1 Ev’ry hour for Jesus, who bled and died for me,
Living now to make me from sins dominion free;
Guided by His Spirit, abiding in His love,
Ev’ry footstep leading to better things above.

Refrain:
Ev’ry hour, ev’ry hour,
Rest, and victory, and pow’r,
Ev’ry hour for Jesus kept by grace divine,
Saviour, blessed Saviour, may this life be mine.

2 From the hand of Jesus, the golden moments fall,
Let them be devoted to Him who bought them all;
Hours so dearly purchased are not for self alone,
But to help our neighbor, and make the Master known. [Refrain]

3 Ev’ry hour for Jesus, the bitter with the sweet,
Thorns as well as roses, till home at last, we meet;
What a blest forever together we shall spend,
Praising our Redeemer, whose praises never end. [Refrain]
