O, let us exalt our dear Lord and proclaim,
In songs of true gratitude, praise to His name!
As songs of the angels in sweetest accord,
Our thanks and our praises shall rise to the Lord.

Lyrics
O, blessed Sun, whose splendor
Dispels the shades of night;
O, Jesus, my Defender,
My soul's supreme delight;
All day I hear resounding
A voice with silver tone,
Which speaks of grace abounding
Through God's eternal Son!

A deep and heav'nly feeling
Oft seizes on my breast;
Ah, here is balm for healing;
Here only is true rest!
Though fortune should bereave me
Of all that I possess,
If Christ His love still leave me,
I freely give the rest.

To win this precious treasure
And matchless pearl I would
Give honor, wealth, and pleasure,
Yea, ev'ry earthly good;
I gladly would surrender
The dearest thing which might
Obscure my Sun's bright splendor,
And rob me of His light.

I know no life divided,
O Lord of Life, from Thee;
In Thee is life provided
For all mankind and me;
I know no death, O Jesus,
Because I live in Thee;
Thy death it is which frees us
From death eternally.

I fear no tribulation,
Since, whatsoe'er it be,
Can make no separation,
Between my Lord and me;
If Thou, my God and teacher,
Vouchsafe to be my own,
Though poor, I shall be richer
Than monarch on his throne.

If, while on earth I wander,
My heart is light and blest,
Ah! what shall I be yonder,
In perfect peace and rest?
O, blessed thought! In dying
We go to meet the Lord,
Where there shall be no sighing,
A kingdom our reward.

Lord, with this truth impress me
And write it on my heart,
To comfort, cheer and bless me,
That Thou my Saviour art;
Without Thy love to guide me,
I should be wholly lost;
The floods would quickly hide me,
On life's wide ocean tossed.

Thy love it was which sought me;
Thou wast unsought by me,
And to the haven brought me,
Where I would gladly be;
The things which once distressed me
My heart no longer move,
Since this sweet truth impressed me
That I possess Thy love.
