PSALM # 1

Sweet Jesus, gentle Jesus!
Holy be your name.
I praise you for your love.
I praise you for your patience.
I praise you for your healing.
You know my pain for you were there.
Sweet Jesus, gentle Jesus,

Thanks for the pain which you bear.
Our prayers, I know You hear.
You drive away all fear,
When in our mouths is praise for you, Sweet
Jesus dear.
Our salvation’s in You, Jesus.
You suffered, died and rose, sweet Jesus,
So that, in heaven, with you we’ll dwell.
Holy be Your name, sweet and gentle Jesus;
Sweet, sweet Jesus. Holy be Your name.
