How I love to speak for Jesus,
Every day and every hour;
How I love to sing His praises,
And to trust His saving power,
And to trust His saving power.
How I love to work for Jesus,
For He labored hard for me;
When He purchased my redemption,
On the cross of Calvary,
On the cross of Calvary.
Jesus, I my cross have taken,
I will bear it by Thy grace;
Help me ever to be faithful,
Till I see Thee face to face,
Till I see Thee face to face.
