Lyrics
Praise the Savior, you who know Him!
Who can tell how much we owe Him?
Gladly let us render to Him
All we are and have.
Jesus is the name that charms us;
He for conflict fits and arms us;
Nothing moves and nothing harms us
While we trust in Him.
Trust in Him, you saints, forever;
He is faithful, changing never;
Neither force nor guile can sever
Those He loves from Him.
Keep us, Lord, O keep us cleaving
To Thyself and still believing,
Till the hour of our receiving
Promised joys with Thee.
Then we shall be where we would be,
Then we shall be what we should be;
Things that are not now, nor could be,
Soon shall be our own.

Jesus does not merely rescue us; He equips us for life's daily battles and anchors our hearts in His unshakeable peace. Nothing in all creation can separate us from His unfailing presence, and His unchanging character gives us confidence for every step ahead. Today, let us gladly offer Him all that we are, trusting the One who holds us fast forever.
