Hymn 17
P.M.
1. O Jesus! the giver
Of all we enjoy,
Our lives to thy honour,
We wish to employ;
With praises unceasing
We'll sing of thy name,
Thy goodness increasing,
Thy love we'll proclaim.

2. With joy we remember,
The dawn of that day,
When cold as December,
In darkness we lay!
The sweet invitation
We heard with surprise,
And witnessed salvation
To flow from the skies.

3. The wonderful name
Of our Jesus we'll sing,
And publish the fame
Of our Captain and King
With sweet exultation
His goodness we prove,
His name is salvation,
His nature is love.

4. We now are enlisted
In Jesus' blessed cause,
Divinely assisted,
To conquer our foes;
His grace will support us
Till conflicts are o'er,
He then will escort us
To Zion's bright shore.
