Lyrics

I am glad, oh, so glad,
That to Je­sus I came;
He has pardoned my sins,
I can now praise His name.

Refrain

Hallelujah, Je­sus saves me,
With a perfect sal­va­tion;
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Jesus saves me just now.

Oh, the fullness of joy
My Re­deem­er to know,
And to feel that His blood
Makes me whiter than snow.

Refrain

Perfect peace in my heart
Jesus now gives to me,
From all fearing and doubting,
My spirit is free.

Refrain

Savior, keep me, I pray,
Ever keep me Thine own,
Till I join the glad song
Of the blest round Thy throne.
