Jesus came to me, and He touched my eyes,
When I was blinded so;
And He gave to me my perfect sight,
And His glory I know.
Refrain
And His glory I know, and His glory I know;
Jesus touched my heart, and He made me whole,
And His glory I know.
Jesus stays with me, and He keeps my soul,
Where’er I chance to go;
For He cleansed my heart and made me whole,
And His glory I know.
Refrain
Jesus washed my life with His precious blood,
I’m whiter than the snow;
I am fully reconciled to God,
And His glory I know.
Refrain
Jesus dwells in me, I will shout and sing,
My heart is all aglow;
I am looking for my glorious king,
For His glory I know.
Refrain
Jesus will come down and will say, Well done!
Away with Him I’ll go;
And we’ll fly beyond the setting sun,
For His glory I know.
