The Song of My Life

By F. A. Lorenz

Tune: “Lead Kindly Light”
F. A. LORENZ
O JESUS, Lord, thou precious Lamb of God Who died for me; Who through his love set Satan’s power at naught, And made me free, Thine am I now; thou art henceforth my choice. I love to follow thy sweet Spirit’s voice.
When I was in the servitude of sin, Estranged from thee, My lot was anguish, fear, and doubt within; I could not see. Thy ransom, Lord, has granted me release; My soul is filled with gladness, joy, and peace.
My tongue shall sound thy praises to the world, Without dismay, For all thy mercies, Lord, to me unfurled From day to day. If mankind could but comprehend thy grace, They would repent, kneel down, and see thy face!
Exalted Prince, how could thy child forbear To sense thy worth? Or to admire thy universal care In heaven and earth? Why should I not re-echo, shout, and sing When vast creation’s host adore their King?
