Praise God, From Whom All Blessings
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Praise Him
Praise Him (4x);
Jesus, blessed Savior, He’s worthy to be praised
From the rising of the sun,
Until the going down of the same;
He’s worthy, Jesus is worthy He’s worthy to be praised
Praise Him (4x);
Jesus, blessed Savior, He’s worthy to be praised
O, How I Love Jesus
1
There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth; It sounds like music in my ear, The sweetest name on earth.
Refrain
O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love Jesus Because He first loved me!
2
It tells me of a Savior's love, Who died to set me free; It tells me of His precious blood, The sinner's perfect plea.
3
It tells of One whose loving heart Can feel my deepest woe, Who in each sorrow bears a part That none can bear below.
