| Text: | Grateful praise |
1 We bring no glitt'ring treasures,
No gems from earth's deep mine;
We come, with simple measures,
To chant thy love divine.
Chorus:
We love Jesus,
We love Jesus,
We love Jesus,
Because he first loved us.
2 Children, thy favors sharing
Their voice of thanks would raise;
Father, accept our off'ring,
Our song of grateful praise. [Chorus]
3 The dearest gift of Heaven,
Love's written word of truth,
To us is early given
To guide our steps in youth. [Chorus]
4 Redeemer, grant thy blessing!
O teach us how to pray,
That each, thy fear possessing,
May tread life's onward way! [Chorus]
5 Then where the pure are dwelling
We hope to meet again,
And sweeter numbers swelling
Forever praise thy name. [Chorus]
