1 Jesus is Lord, my Redeemer,
How he loves me, how I love Him.
He is risen, He is coming,
Lord, come quickly, Alleluia!

2 Precious is He, He that cometh,
I will love Him, I will serve Him.
When He comes with shouts of glory,
I will join Him, Alleluia!

3 He still loves me, me, the sinner,
What a sorrow if I lost Him.
But He owns me, me, the sinner.
Praise our Jesus! Alleluia!

4 Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia.
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Lord, come quickly, Alleluia!
