1.

I will praise Thee, dear Jesus, who opened the way
That leads me to new life divine.
I behold there God’s glory, increasing each day,
And partake of the fruits of the Vine.

Chorus:

I will honor and glorify Thee,
For from sin and from darkness I’m free.
To Thy glory and praise I will live;
Grace abundant to me Thou dost give.

2.

I will praise Thee, dear Jesus, for giving Thyself,
So I can to life enter in
And be clothed in pure linen so radiant and bright,
And have rest and Thy peace deep within.

3.

I will praise Thee, dear Jesus, for life-giving laws,
Which strengthen and guide me aright.
I can freely and gladly go onward each day
And be pleasing, dear Lord, in Thy sight.
