Hallowed Hymns, New and Old ‎#37

37. I Will Praise Thee

1 Thou didst love me, O my Saviour,
When my heart was far from Thee,
Thou didst give Thyself a ransom
To atone for one like me.

Refrain:
I will praise Thee, I will bless Thee,
For the peace Thy love bestows,
And the fountain Thou hast opened,
That to all so freely flows.

2 I beseech Thee, O my Saviour,
“That my earthly life may be,
But a shadow to that glory,
Of my hidden life in Thee.” [Refrain]

3 I will praise Thee, O my Saviour,
For the message I have heard,
And the lessons Thou hast taught me,
By the Spirit thro’ Thy word. [Refrain]

4 I will praise Thee, O my Saviour,
For Thy tender, patient care,
And the promise that assures me,
Thou wilt hear and answer pray’r. [Refrain]
