1 Ich will von meinem Jesus singen,
von Seiner Gnade, Lieb und Treu,
von Seinem bittern Kreuzesleiden,
von Seiner Blutskraft, die macht frei.

Refrain:
Singt, o singt von meinem Jesus,
von Seiner Gnade, Lieb und Treu,
von Seinem bittern Kreuzesleiden,
von Seiner Blutskraft, die macht frei!

2 Ich will von Seinen Wundern rühmen,
wie Er die Sünder selig macht.
Er hat auch mir durch Sein Versühnen
himmlisches Licht und Heil gebracht. [Refrain]

3 Ich will den teuren Heiland preisen:
Sein Regiment ist ohne Fehl;
Er hilft den Seinen völlig siegen
über die Sünde, Tod und Höll. [Refrain]
