Representative Text

1 We have been redeemed by love,
And we mean to cling
To our Savior-King;
Faithful ever we will prove,
And with joy his praises sing.

Chorus:
Jesus overflows our hearts with happiness and love,
Giving peace and light,
Making life so bright.
Songs of thankfulness and praise
We send to God above
For his matchless gift of love.

2 In our Savior’s wondrous light,
Happy in his grace,
Heaven’s path we trace;
He will keep the pathway bright,
Till at last we see his face. [Chorus]

3 Savior, keep us pure and sweet,
Till this life is o’er,
And we roam no more;
Grant that all of us may meet,
By and by, on yonder shore. [Chorus]
