1 'Tis sweet to confess him, our Master and Guide,
To ring it out boldly, we're on the Lord's side;
To lift up his banner, and gratefully show,
Where Jesus shall lead us we're willing to go.
Chorus:
O joyfully praise him! O trustfully sing,
'Tis sweet to confess him, our Saviour and King;
We'll fling out his banner, and let the world know,
Where Jesus shall lead us we're willing to go.
2 'Tis sweet to confess him, our Saviour and Friend,
To speak of the mercies that never shall end;
To pass on the message that cheered us to-day,
Our neighbor, perhaps, it will help on the way. [Chorus]
3 'Tis sweet to confess him, that others may hear
How good is our Jesus, how gracious and dear;
To tell his salvation, our ransom from sin,
The might of his Spirit abiding within. [Chorus]
4 'Tis sweet to confess him, someday he will come
With all his bright angels to gather us home,
And those who have faithfully witnessed below,
Shall rise in his likeness, his glory shall know. [Chorus]
