Words

1. My Lord Jesus, my sov'reign King,
His praises I joyfully sing:
Tho' King, he is also my brother;
Tho' King, he will love me forever.
And, leaving his throne up in glory
He snatched me from Satan's debris.
And I will rejoice, Yes, I will rejoice in Him.

2. I've yearned for a friend just like Jesus;
He's with me at dawn and at dusk.
He patiently leads me through troubles,
With comfort and help in life's struggles.
And gladly I will follow him,
My King and my Lord and my Friend.
And I will rejoice, Yes, I will rejoice in Him.

3. Now what could I give to the Lord
Since he has such kindness outpoured?
I'll serve him and love him forever;
I'll give all my life to my Savior.
May I ever walk in his footsteps;
His name may I always profess.
And I will rejoice, Yes, I will rejoice in Him.
