{{Vs|1}} NOW in a Song of grateful Praise
To my dear Lord my Voice I'll raise,
With all his Saints I'll join to tell,
My Jesus has done all Things well.

{{Vs|2}} All Worlds his glorious Power confess,
His Wisdom all his Works express:
But O his Love! what Tongue can tell!
My Jesus has done all Things well.

{{Vs|3}} How sov'reign, wonderful and free,
Has been his Love to sinful Me!
This pluck'd me from the Jaw of Hell,
My Jesus has done all Things well.

{{Vs|4}} I spurn'd his Grace, I broke his Laws;
And yet he undertook my Cause,
To save me, tho' I did rebell;
My Jesus has done all Things well.

{{Vs|5}} And since my Soul has known his Love,
What Mercies has he made me prove;
Mercies which do all Praise excell;
My Jesus has done all Things well.

{{Vs|6}} Whene'er my Saviour and my God,
Has on me laid his gentle Rod;
I know in all that has befell,
My Jesus has done all Things well.

{{Vs|7}} Tho' many a fiery flaming Dart
The Tempter levels at my Heart;
With this I all his Rage repell,
My Jesus has done all Things well.

{{Vs|8}} Sometimes my Lord his Face does hide
To make me pray, or kill my Pride;
Yet then it on my Mind does dwell,
My Jesus has done all Things well.

{{Vs|9}} Soon shall I pass the vail of Death,
And in his Arms shall lose my Breath;
Yet then my happy Soul shall tell,
My Jesus has done all Things well.

{{Vs|10}} And when to that bright World I rise,
And join the Anthems in the Skies;
Above the rest ''this Note'' shall swell,
My Jesus has done all Things well!}}

{{Vs|1}} Now in a song of grateful praise
To my dear Lord my voice I'll raise:
With all his saints I'll join to tell,
My Jesus hath done all things well.

{{Vs|2}} How sov'reign, and how great his love;
What mercies hath he made me prove!
Mercies which do all praise excel;
My Jesus hath done all things well.

{{Vs|3}} When call'd to pass the vale of death,
If in his arms I lose my breath,
O then my happy soul will tell,
My Jesus hath done all things well.

{{Vs|4}} So when to yon bright world I rise,
And join the anthems in the skies,
Above the rest this note shall swell:
My Jesus hath done all things well.}}
