Sing, sing of my Savior!

1.
/: Sing :/ of my Savior!
/: Sing :/ it again!
Sing till each heart is burning.
/: Sing :/ it again!
/: Sing :/ your way through,
/: sing :/ when you’re glad!
/: Sing :/ so each heart beats,
freed, ne’ermore to be sad!
2.
/: Who :/ was triumphant,
full victory won?
Who’s trod alone the winepress
like Jesus has done?
Who loved without measure,
died so we might live?
Who has Bread of Life and
living water to give?
3.
/: He :/ has so gripped me
/: deep :/ in my heart.
He crushed the serpent’s head, and
all chains burst apart.
/: He :/ is arisen;
He gives hope anew.
With fire and the Spirit
He has baptized me too.
4.
/: He :/ tells us kindly
/: where :/ the way leads.
He speaks to us so clearly,
that we may take heed.
/: Come :/ now, my brother;
come, walk in this way.
It truly is simple;
come, we must not delay!
