1. When out in the conflict for Jesus my Lord,
No foe could compel me to flee;
I knew I would conquer while trusting his word,
For he was so precious to me.
Chorus:
O glory to God, my soul is aflame,
I’m happy, exultant and free,
For Jesus is precious, O praise his dear name,
Unspeakable precious to me.
2. When wearied and burden’d with trial and care,
And sorrows I could not foresee;
I always found comfort from Jesus in prayer,
For he was so precious to me.
3. And now I have finished the duties he gave,
The end of my labors I see;
I fear not the power of death or the grave,
For he is so precious to me.
4. The Savior is calling, I’ll soon reach my home,
And there in his image I’ll be;
And thro’ all the ages I know he’ll become
Increasingly precious to me.
