I love the bless­èd Je­sus,
My Sav­ior and my friend;
Help me to sing His prais­es,
Till earth­ly life shall end;
And then in gar­ments pure and white,
With crowns and harps of gold,
We’ll meet this friend on the plains of light,
His glo­ry to be­hold.

Refrain

When we ga­ther round the great white throne,
When we ga­ther round the great white throne,
We will sing His praise thro’ end­less days,
When we ga­ther round the great white throne.

I love the bless­èd Je­sus,
For me He bled and died;
And in His pre­cious merit
I’ll ev­er­more con­fide;
I’ll wor­ship Him who rose again,
Triumphant o’er the grave;
And when we meet as a ran­somed throng,
We’ll sing His pow’r to save.

Refrain

O let me live for Je­sus,
And bear His cross be­low;
And if the Sav­ior calls me
To suf­fer pain and woe,
I want to be like Je­sus still,
And al­ways watch and pray.
That I may rest in the hap­py home,
In realms of end­less day.

Refrain

Then let me die in Je­sus;
His pre­sence I shall have
While cross­ing ov­er Jordan,
To calm the trou­bled wave;
And when, tri­umph­ant ov­er death,
I gain the bliss­ful shore,
I’ll reign with Him in the world ab­ove,
When time shall be no more.

Refrain
