Thou whose name is callŠd Jesus,
|
|
| 1. | Thou whose name is callŠd Jesus, |
| | Risen Lord of life and pow'r, |
| | Oh, it is so sweet to trust Thee, |
| | Every day and every hour; |
| | Of Thy wondrous grace I sing, |
| | Savior, Counsellor, and King. |
| 2. | Thou canst keep my feet from falling, |
| | Even my poor wayward feet; |
| | Thou who dost present me faultless |
| | In Thee-Righteousness complete; |
| | Jesus, Lord, in knowing Thee, |
| | Oh, what strength and victory. |
| 3. | All the sin in me, my Savior, |
| | Thou canst conquer and subdue; |
| | With Thy sanctifying power |
| | Permeate my spirit through; |
| | Let Thy government increase, |
| | Risen, crownŠd, Prince of Peace. |
| 4. | Thou canst keep my upward looking, |
| | Ever upward in Thy face; |
| | Thou canst make me stand, upholden |
| | By the greatness of Thy grace; |
| | Every promise of Thy word |
| | Now I claim from Thee, dear Lord. |
| 5. | Oh! what joy to trust in Thee, Jesus, |
| | Mighty Victor o'er the grave, |
| | And to learn amid earth's shadows |
| | Thine unceasing power to save! |
| | Only those who prove Thee know |
| | What the grace Thou dost bestow. |
| 6. | Make my life a bright outshining |
| | Of Thy life, that all my see |
| | Thine own resurrection power |
| | Mightily put forth in me; |
| | Ever let my heart become |
| | Yet more consciously Thy home. |
