JESUS is our Savior dear,
He to us is always near;
Close to HIM what can we fear?
Praise, praise HIS name!
GOD come down to earth was HE,
Here to dwell with such as we,
So that we our God might see.
Praise, praise HIS name!
All the stars by HIM were made,
Sun and moon which never fade,
Light and life HIS word obeyed.
Praise, praise HIS name!
Every tree and every flower,
Owns HIS wisdom and HIS power,
And HIS wonders fill each hour.
Praise, praise HIS name!
But HIS love is greater far
Than HIS making of a star,
Greater than HIS mercies are,
Praise, praise HIS name!
For to death HIS love would go,
That its fullness we might know,
And our hearts with joy o'erflow.
Praise, praise HIS name!
Now we prove for us HIS care,
Every day and everywhere;
Soon HIS honors we shall share,
Praise, praise HIS name!
