Hymn 174

O Thou God of My Salvation

REGENT SQUARE, 8.7.8.7.8.7.

O Thou God of my salvation,
My Redeemer from all sin;
Moved by Thy divine compassion,
Who has died my heart to win,
I will praise Thee, I will praise Thee;
Where shall I Thy praise begin?

Tho' unseen, I love the Savior;
He hath bro't salvation near;
Manifests His pard'ning favor;
And when Jesus doth appear,
Soul and body, soul and body
Shall His glor'ous image bear.

While the angel choirs are saying,
“Glory to the great I AM,”
I with them will still be vying,
Glory, glory to the Lamb!
O how precious, O how precious
Is the sound of Jesus' name!

Angels now are hov'ring round us,
Unperceived amid the throng;
Wond'ring at the love that crowned us,
Glad to join the holy song;
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Love and praise to Christ belong!

O Thou God of my salvation, my Redeemer
