Millennial Harp 105
My Song Shall Be of Jesus
C.M.D.
1My song shall be of Jesus, His mercy crowns my days, He fills my cup with blessings, And tunes my heart to praise; My song shall be of Jesus, The precious Lamb of God, Who gave Himself my ransom, And bought me with His blood.
2My song shall be of Jesus, When sitting at His feet, I call to mind His goodness In fellowship so sweet; My song shall be of Jesus, Whatever ills befall, I'll sing the grace that saves me And triumphantly sing of Jesus, I'll sing for evermore.
3My song shall be of Jesus, While pressing on my way To where my home shines glorious In pure and perfect day; And when my soul shall enter The mansions fair, When the precious Lamb of God, Who first loved me.
