My God, Thou art in Jesus mine

Verse 1
My God, thou art in Jesus mine,
And early will I seek thy face,
A slave redeem’d by blood divine,
A sinner sav’d by pardning grace.

Verse 2
Preventing the first dawn of day,
I lift my joyful heart and eyes,
And call’d by love my vows to pay,
Present my morning sacrifice.

Verse 3
Thanks be to God inthron’d above,
Who did to man salvation bring:
Thy riches of redeeming love
Let angels and archangels sing.

Verse 4
Worthy the Lamb extol’d to live,
Whose life to ransom ours was given:
Jesus, the homage due receive,
The utmost praise of earth and heaven.

Verse 5
God over all for ever blest,
Giver of every gift and grace,
Redemption shines above the rest,
And challenges my endless praise.

Verse 6
Fountain and root of all beside
Redemption in the dust I own,
And suffering with the crucified
Arise the partner of thy throne.

Verse 7
Ev’n now I taste the raptures there,
Amidst the church of the first-born,
Redeem’d from earth, my Lord declare,
And shouting to thine arms return.

Verse 8
I see those outstretch’d arms of love,
Those arms extended on the tree!
I see my place prepar’d above,
And bow my head, to reign with thee!
