Sing for Jesus

Hymnal: Calvary Songs #35 (1875) First Line: Oh, may I while I live on earth, Lyrics: 1 Oh, may I while I live on earth, Sing for Jesus, sing for Jesus; Praise him with my heart and breath, Sing to his dear name. For have I not great cause for praise, To him who crowns my youthful days, And leads me through the pleasant ways, To sing of his dear name. 2 And may I while I live below, Speak of Jesus, speak of Jesus; Never tire of his dear name, Tire of his dear name. Oh! how much he has done for me, He hung on Calv'ry's cursed tree; That I might evermore be free, To speak for his dear name. 3 Then let me while my life remains, Live for Jesus, live for Jesus; Count it honor, though I oft Suffer for his name. But when at last my life shall be, With him throughout eternity; Oh! then how sweet it there will be, To ever live for him. Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh, may I while I live on earth]
