Lyrics

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.
