With Jesus and angels, and kindred so dear.

Verse 4
O, who’s like my Saviour? He’s Salem’s bright King;
He smiles, and He loves me, and helps me to sing.
I’ll praise Him, I’ll praise Him, with notes loud and clear
While rivers of pleasure my spirit do cheer.
He smiles, and He loves me, and helps me to sing.
