Thanks, Jesus, for the vict’ry Thou hast won.
Thanks for the rest and peace my soul has found.
Thanks that forever I to Thee am bound—
Jesus, my Savior.

Thanks, Thou art with me through the waters deep.
Thanks that each promise Thou shalt ever keep.
Soon life eternal I with Thee shall reap—

Thanks, Lord, for trials, bitter though they bee;
Thanks for what I’ve through suff ’ring learned from Thee.
With all my heart I love Thee fervently—

Jesus, I’m Thine; what more could I desire?
Man’s glory, favor—do I such require?
No, only Thee, Lord; all else is but mire—

A refuge sure forever Thou wilt bee.
Each spot and wrinkle, cleanse away from mee.
Lord, where Thou leadest, I will follow Thee—

Jesus, I always want to have Thee near.
Right at Thy feet, Lord, I will sit and hear.
There I’m in safety; I need never fear—
Jesus, my Savior.
