The Hymnal ‎#24

24. O Jesus, the giver of all we enjoy

1 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 ne'er ceasing, thy love we'll proclaim.

2 With joy we remember the dawn of that day
When, lead by the Spirit the truth to obey,
The light dawned upon us and filled us with love,
The Spirit's sure witness sent down from above.

3 We now are enlisted in Jesus' blest cause,
Divinely assisted to conquer his foes;
His grace will support us, his goodness we'll prove
In Zion's redemption through labors of love.
