O How Sweet to Sing of Jesus

O how sweet to sing of Jesus, Just to make the world more glad

Author: Nellie A. Montgomery
Tune: [O how sweet to sing of Jesus]
Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1 O how sweet to sing of Jesus,
Just to make the world more glad;
Weary ones may pause to listen,
Saddened hearts may grow less sad.

Chorus:
O ‘tis sweet to sing of Jesus,
It will fill each passing day
With the beauty of His presence,
And make brighter all the way.

2 O how sweet to work for Jesus,
Then it is He seems most near;
When the task is hard He helps us,
And His love casts out all fear. [Chorus]

3 O how sweet to tell of Jesus,
Tell how much He is to me,
Bid one hungry soul, despairing,
Just to come, and taste, and see. [Chorus]
