The Golden Chain

I love my pre­cious Savior

Because He died for me;

And if I did not serve Him

How sin­ful I should be!

I know He makes me hap­py

And hears me when I pray;

I’ll keep fast hold on Je­sus

The Bi­ble says I may.

Dear Sav­ior

make me ho­ly;

Let me be gen­tle

mild

Obedient

lov­ing

low­ly

A tru­ly Christ-like child.

Yea! still though Sa­tan tempt me

And make me sad

I’ll say

I long to be like Je­sus;

The Bi­ble says I may.

Though I can do but lit­tle

Yet I will al­ways try

To tell some lit­tle child­ren

How Je­sus came to die.

God help me to be use­ful

In all I do or say!

I mean to work for Je­sus

The Bi­ble says I may.

And while I’m lovi­ng Je­sus

I feel so glad to know

That mak­ing oth­ers hap­py

Will make me hap­py

too.

When oth­ers hear me sing­ing

I’ll not for­get to say

You too can be as hap­py

The Bi­ble says you may.

And since I’ve found my Sav­ior

The first link in the chain

I’ll trust in Him for­ev­er

Till Heav’n at last I gain.

I love that bless­èd coun­try

Where tears are wiped away;

I want to live with Je­sus

The Bible says I may.
