O Jesus! the giver
Of all we enjoy,
Our lives to thy honor
We wish to employ;
With praises unceasing
We’ll sing of thy name,
Thy goodness increasing,
Thy love we’ll proclaim.
2
With joy we remember
The dawn of that day,
When, cold as December,
In darkness we lay;
The sweet invitation
We heard with surprise,
And witness’d salvation
To flow from the skies.
3
The wonderful name
Of our Jesus we’ll sing,
And publish the fame
Of our Captain and King;
With sweet exultation
His goodness we prove
His name is Salvation,
His nature is love.
4
We now are enlisted
In Jesus’ bless’d cause,
Divinely assisted
To conquer our foes;
His grace will support us
Till conflicts are o’er,
He then will escort us
To Zion’s bright shore.
