Lyrics

Cleansed in our Sav­ior’s pre­cious blood,
Filled with the full­ness of our God,
Walking by faith the path He trod,
Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Leaning our heads on Je­sus’ breast,
Knowing the joy of that sweet rest,
Finding in Him the chief, the best,
Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Kept by His pow­er from day to day,
Held by His hand, we can­not stray,
Glory to glo­ry all the way,
Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Living in us His own pure life,
Giving us rest from in­ward strife,
From strength to strength, from death to life,
Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

O what a Sav­ior we have found!
Well may we make the world re­sound,
With one con­tin­ual joy­ous sound,
Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
