O Jesus, Blessed Lord, to Thee

1 O Jesus, blessed Lord, to thee
My heartfelt thanks forever be,
Who hast so lovingly bestowed
On me thy body and thy blood.

2 Break forth, my soul, for joy and say:
What wealth has come to me this day!
My Savior dwells within me now:
How blest am I! How good art thou!
