The Sav­ior came one sum­mer day,
And took my load of sin away;
From guil­ty fears He gave re­lease,
And filled my soul with joy and peace.

Refrain

O hal­le­jujah to the Lamb!
I’ll praise His name for what I am!
For on that bright and hap­py day
He washed my ma­ny sins away.

O glo­ry be to Je­sus’ name!
The Spir­it as the Wit­ness came;
He turned me from my sin­ful ways,
And filled my heart with songs of praise.

Refrain

I walked in peace from day to day,
And sought my Sav­ior to obey;
But to my grief I found with­in
That stub­born thing, in­dwell­ing sin.

Refrain

In vain I strove to watch and pray,
And walk in tri­umph day by day;
The foe would take me by sur­prise,
And sin­ful pas­sions would arise.

Refrain

By grace di­vine, the path was plain,
I saw the old man must be slain;
Upon the cross I groaned and died,
And, like my Lord, was cru­ci­fied.

Refrain

O hal­le­lu­jah to the Lamb!
Forever praise the great I AM!
He can the strong man safe­ly bind,
And free us from the car­nal mind.

O joy di­vine! in that same hour
The Lord of glo­ry came in pow­er;
He freed me from in­dwell­ing sin,
And now He sweet­ly dwells with­in.
