15007. Welcome Praise

1 Our praises we offer to Jesus today,
For mercies and blessings enriching our way;
And we welcome His children who join in accord,
To endeavor to serve Him, our glorious Lord.

Refrain:
We will sing the love of Jesus,
Join with angel songs above;
Chant His praises, tell His blessing,
Spread abroad His wondrous love.

2 We lean on His promises many and sure,
Lay hold on His teachings so faithful and pure;
And we pray with assurance that Jesus will hear,
And deliver believers from bondage and fear. [Refrain]

3 In spirit He leads us and gives a new song,
Uplifts our whole life, makes us happy and strong;
By His power He shields us from danger and care,
By His love He impels us love’s burdens to bear. [Refrain]

4 Then join hearts and voices to publish His praise,
Exhorting each other to walk in His ways;
We’ll exalt in His triumphs and praise His great might,
Till we shout hallelujahs in mansions of light. [Refrain]
