Zion's Harp ‎#201

201. O, my Lord Jesus Christ

1 O, my Lord Jesus Christ! By grace I am apprised Of gifts esteemed; Filled with the Holy Ghost, Among Thy chosen host, I may now take my post, Ever redeemed! 2 O, this redemption bond, It goes so far beyond My carnal view. Thy merciful nature Forever will endure, And Thy word doth assure Thy promise true. 3 As Jesus died for me And in the grave did lie So I the same, Immersed and buried there, I’m resurrected where I no more death shall share. Praised be His name! 4 The body that believes, Thy Son as head receives In union strong; So I, the scornful one, This membership have won, Since to the blessed Son I now belong. 5 Thy grace so rich and free, To me in high degree Thou dost unfold; Thou only, great and strong, Couldst break the dreadful thong, And draw from Satan’s throng Into Thy fold. 6 Therefore my voice I’ll raise In glad and joyous praise Now on this shore, And then in chorus clear I’ll sing Thy praises near, O Lord, to Thy blest ear Forevermore.
