ENGLISH LYRICS: O praise my soul the Lord of glory
I will joy in the God of my salvation. Hab. 3:181. O praise my soul the Lord of glory
The wonderful King who sought for me
I will ring bell to praise Thee about
I will show the love of His greatness
O my Lord, I give thanks to Thee
Thou hast appointed me with Thy grace
Uphold me O Lord unto the end
That I may reign with Thee above.
2. Should have perish'd like animal
If Thou Almighty hath not sav'd me
The Holy Spirit came un-aware
And He fill'd my tongue with new language.
3. My heart's joy is beyond expression
In the morning, day and middle night
And the Spirit now dwells within me
What should I give unto my Saviour?
4. The Lord hath open'd my inward eyes
I now listen to deep voice of God
And the Spirit now dwells within me
What should I give unto my Saviour?
5. I will glory in God my Saviour
So that I may not be ungrateful
For His call is wonderful to me
The angels now becomes my belov'd.
6. Now I'm prepare to serve my Jesus
Not caring for Satan in this world
Where ever the Saviour directs me
Surely, He'll not let me be troubled.
7. And when my journey's ended on earth
O dear Saviour let me not loose thee
In the last hour let me hear Thy voice
Enter into everlasting joy.
Amen.
