Chorus: Oh, saints, arouse and proclaim it, Come sing this joyful strain, That Jesus died for sinners, And now he lives again. 2 I love to sing of heaven, For there my Saviour dwells; And while His grace still keeps me, His boundless love I'll tell. [Chorus] 3 I love to talk with Jesus, When burdened down with grief; I tell Him all my sorrows, He grants me sweet relief.
