Text
- I love to live rejoicing,
I cannot bear to live lukewarm,
Although there’s many blame me,
For trusting in the Lord alone.
Shout, O, glory, for glory is begun,
And I’ll shout glory while the work is going on. - My heart is all on fire,
I feel my Savior in my soul,
Sweet heavens drawing nigher,
I feel the living waters roll.
Shout, O, glory, for glory is begun,
And I’ll shout glory while the work is going on.
