Why I Sing (Lewis)

Lyricist: Ida Lewis, 1894
Composer: Charles Gabriel

I sing be­cause I love Him—

Because to earth He came

All those to save who trust Him

From end­less death and shame.

I sing be­cause I love Him

Because He died for me;

For this I shall ad­ore Him

Through all eter­ni­ty.

I sing be­cause I love Him;

From sin He set me free;

He taught my soul to praise Him—

Filled it with me­lo­dy.

I sing be­cause I love Him

For keep­ing me in peace;

Until my eyes be­hold Him

My song shall nev­er cease.
