A Sacrifice of Praise

Yes

Je­sus has saved me

O blest be His name!

Has saved me from sin and its pow­er;

I came a poor sin­ner con­fess­ing my guilt;

I asked for for­give­ness; I cried If Thou wilt!

And He saved me that ve­ry same hour.

I praise Him for grace

That was sent from ab­ove

To save a lost sin­ner from hell.

I praise Him for mer­cy

I praise Him for love

Too won­drous for mor­tal to tell.

I hun­gered for right­eous­ness

blest be His name!

He an­swered me

Thou shalt be filled!

I yield­ed Him ev­ery­thing man doth de­sire;

He showed me cor­rupt­ion

then cleansed me with fire

And His love thro’ my whole be­ing thrilled.

He keeps me so sweet­ly thro’ sor­row and pain

That I praise Him by day and by night;

No cloud is so black that His love can­not fill;

He hides me in dark­ness

He hold­eth me still

Till the gloom soft­ly fades in­to light.

He lead­eth me gent­ly

and woos me along

To heights ev­er loom­ing above;

I gaze in His face while I walk the lone way

And winds that are win­try

grow bal­my as May

’Neath the breath of His in­fi­nite love.
