O thou God of my salvation

Meter: Irregular Appears in 266 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:8 Lyrics: 1 O thou God of my salvation, My Redeemer from all sin, Mov'd to this by great compassion, Yearning bowels from within; I will praise thee-- Where shall I thy praise begin? 2 While the angel-choirs are crying, "Glory to the great I AM!" I with them will still be vying, "Glory, glory, to the lamb!" Oh! how precious Is the sound of Jesus’ name! 3 Now I see, with joy and wonder, Whence the healing streams arose; Angels-minds are lost to ponder Dying love's mysterious cause; What a blessing! Down to all, to me it flows.
