Refrain: 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. 2 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. [Refrain] 3 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. [Refrain] 4 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. [Refrain] 5 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. [Refrain] 6 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. [Refrain] 7 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. [Refrain] 8 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. [Refrain] 9 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. [Refrain] 10 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. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [O Jesus, my Savior, I know Thou art mine]
