As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 613 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

O Jesus, my Redeemer, Thou art my joy and song, My Saviour and my solace When griefs around me throng.

O Jesus, my Redeemer, My song shall be of Thee; No other friend so constant, No friend so dear to me.

Thou art my hope and comfort Through all the weary years, When shadows dark surround me, When fall the bitter tears.

I trust in Thee, my Saviour, My faithful Friend and Guide; For Thou to me art dearer Than all on earth beside.

My song and my rejoicing While in this world of sin, My song and my rejoicing The heavenly gates within.
