O Thou God of My Salvation

lyricist: Thomas Olivers, 1769
Composer: Daniel Towner, 1913

O Thou God of my sal­va­tion

My Re­deem­er from all sin;

Moved by Thy di­vine com­pas­sion

Who hast died my heart to win;

I will praise Thee

I will praise Thee

Where shall I Thy praise be­gin?

I will praise Thee

I will praise Thee

Where shall I Thy praise be­gin?

Though un­seen

I love the Sav­ior

He hath brought sal­va­tion near;

Manifests His par­don­ing fa­vor

And when Je­sus doth ap­pear

Soul and bo­dy

soul and bo­dy

Shall His glo­ri­ous im­age bear;

Soul and body

soul and bo­dy

Shall His glo­ri­ous im­age bear.

Now I see with joy and won­der

Whence the heal­ing streams arose

Angel minds are lost to pon­der

Dying love’s mys­te­ri­ous cause;

Yet the bless­ing

yet the bless­ing

Down on all

to me it flows.

Yet the bless­ing

yet the bless­ing

Down on all

to me it flows.

While the an­gel choirs are cry­ing

Glory to the great I AM

I with them will still be vy­ing—

Glory

glo­ry

to the Lamb!

Oh

how pre­cious

oh

how pre­cious

Is the sound of Je­sus’ name!

Oh

how pre­cious

oh

how pre­cious

Is the sound of Je­sus’ name!

Angels now are ho­ver­ing round us

Unperceived among the throng;

Wondering at the love that crowned us

Glad to sing the ho­ly song;

Hallelujah

hal­le­lu­jah

Love and praise to Christ be­long!

Hallelujah

hal­le­lu­jah

Love and praise to Christ be­long!
