125. I will Praise Thee

1 O thou God of my salvation,
My Redeemer from all sin;
Moved by thy divine compassion,
Who hast died my heart to win,
I will praise thee, I will praise thee;
Where shall I thy praise begin?
I will praise thee, I will praise thee;
Where shall I thy praise begin?

2 Tho' unseen, I love the Saviour;
He hath brought salvation near;
Manifests his pard'ning favor;
And when Jesus doth appear,
Soul and body, soul and body
Shall his glorious image bear?
Soul and body, soul and body
Shall his glorious image bear?

3 While the angel choirs are crying,
"Glory to the great I AM,"
I with them will still be vying--
Glory! glory to the Lamb!
O how precious
Is the sound of Jesus’ name!

4 Angels now are hovering round us,
Unperceived amid the throng;
Wondering at the love that crowned us,
Glad to join the holy song:
Hallelujah,
Love and praise to Christ belong!
