106. For Jesus’ Sake

1 “For Jesus’ sake;” thus angels sing
Around the great white throne;
To Him their richest off’rings bring,
And worship Him alone;
And worship Him alone,
And worship Him alone.

Refrain:
“For Jesus’ sake” shall be our song!
His right in us we own;
To Him our life and all belong,
To Him, and Him alone.

2 “For Jesus’ sake,” the blood-washed shout!
All safely sealed in heav’n;
They sing of His redeeming blood,
Thro’ which they were forgiv’n;
Thro’ which they were forgiv’n,
Thro’ which they were forgiv’n. [Refrain]

3 “For Jesus’ sake” shall be our theme;
His love, our richest prize;
For His dear name alone we’ll live,
And by His pow’r arise;
And by His pow’r arise,
And by His pow’r arise. [Refrain]

4 “For Jesus’ sake;” O blessed One!
Fulfill our heart’s desire;
We would unto Thy glory live,
And in Thy work expire;
And in Thy work expire,
And in Thy work expire. [Refrain]
