O Praise the Lord, I’m Saved

O Je­sus

my Sav­ior

I know Thou art mine;

For Thee all the plea­sures of earth I re­sign;

Of ob­jects most pleas­ing

I love Thee the best;

Without Thee I’m wretch­ed

but with Thee I’m blest.

O praise the Lord

I’m saved

I’m saved by the blood of the Lamb;

I’m saved

I’m saved

O praise the Lord

I’m saved.

Thou art my rich trea­sure

my joy and my love

No rich­er’s pos­sessed by the an­gels ab­ove;

For Thee all the plea­sures of sense I’ll fore­go

And wan­der a pil­grim dis­tress­èd be­low.

O Je­sus

my Sav­ior

in Thee I am blest;

My life and my trea­sure

my joy and my rest;

Thy grace be my theme

and Thy name be my song;

Thy love doth in­spire my heart and my tongue.

Thy Spir­it first taught me to know I was blind;

And taught me the way of sal­va­tion to find;

And when I was sink­ing in dread­ful des­pair

My Je­sus re­lieved me

and bid me not fear.

In vain I at­tempt to des­cribe what I feel;

The lang­uage of mor­tals for­ev­er must fail;

My Je­sus is pre­cious

my soul’s in a flame;

I’m raised in­to rap­tures while prais­ing His name.

I find Him in sing­ing

I find Him in pray­er;

In sweet me­di­ta­tion

He al­ways is near;

My con­stant com­pan­ion

oh

may we not part;

All glo­ry to Je­sus who dwells in my heart.

If ev­er I loved

sure I love Thee

my Lord

I love Thy dear peo­ple

Thy ways and Thy word;

I love all cre­ation

I love sin­ners

too

Since Je­sus has died to re­deem them from woe.

Tho’ weak and des­pis­èd

by faith I now stand

Preserved and sup­port­ed by Heav­en’s kind hand;

In Je­sus sup­port­ed

I’ll bless His dear name

Regardless of cen­sure

of praise or of blame.

When hap­py in Christ

I re­gard not the proud

Tho’ sin­ners des­pise me for sing­ing so loud;

For death will soon call me

and then I shall fly

To praise my dear Je­sus

in man­sions on high.

There mill­ions of ag­es my soul shall em­ploy

In prais­ing my Je­sus

my hope and my joy;

The glo­ri­fied spir­its and an­gels around

Shall all be de­light­ed to join the glad sound.
