1 I will sing for Jesus,
With his blood he bought me,
And all along my pilgrim way

Chorus:
Oh, help me sing for Jesus,
Help me tell the story,
Of him who did redeem us,
The Lord of life and glory

My blessed, blessed Master? [Chorus]

3 I will sing for Jesus,
His name alone prevailing,
Shall be my sweetest music,
When heart and flesh are failing. [Chorus]
