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]

After the completion of his studies in the Old Dominion the finger of providence seemed to beckon him westward and he cast in his lot with the growing state of Iowa, and in 1863 joined Upper Iowa Conference. His first appointment was on the Buckingham Circuit, and during the first year the yo… Go to person page >
