And did my Savior die


Anonymous
From the 1835 Kirtland Hymnal

1. And did my Savior die,
And shed his blood for me?
O! what's the reason why,
Ungrateful I should be?

2. Why should I fear to speak,
And own my Savior's name,
Or bow before his feet,
Or sing aloud his fame?

3. O, may I courage have,
From time to time to tell,
My progress while I live,
On this terrestrial ball.

4. Help me O Lord to live,
And thy commandments keep,
Thy Spirit freely give,
Until in thee I sleep.

1. And did my Savior die
And shed his blood for me?
Oh! what's the reason why
Ungrateful I should be?
In prayer and praise,
My voice I'll raise,
And God adore,
For evermore.

2. Why should I fear to speak,
And own my Savior's name?
Or bow before his feet?
Or sing aloud his fame?
In prayer and praise,
My voice I'll raise,
And God adore,
For evermore.

3. O may I courage have,
From time to time to tell,
My progress while I live,
On this terrestrial ball.
In prayer and praise,
My voice I'll raise,
And God adore,
For evermore.

4. Help me, O Lord, to live,
And thy commandments keep;
Thy spirit freely give
Until in thee I sleep.
Then may I be,
From sorrow free,
And dwell with thee
Eternally.
