Oh, bless the Lord, He cleansed my soul,
And filled my lips with sing­ing;
He came in my poor, sin­ful heart,
And set the joy-bells ring­ing.

Refrain

Oh, praise the Lord, He first loved me;
I feel new life up­spring­ing;
He came in my poor, sin­ful heart,
And set the joy-bells ring­ing.

He placed my feet up­on the rock,
The on­ly sure foun­da­tion;
He shows me won­ders of His grace,
The bless­ings of sal­va­tion.

Refrain

His pro­mise is for all the days,
His love for me is car­ing;
While in the Fa­ther’s house above,
A man­sion He’s pre­par­ing.

Refrain

His love is call­ing, seek­ing still,
Come, ev­ery bur­den bring­ing;
The touch of Christ with­in your heart
Will set the joy-bells ring­ing.
