Lyrics

O I love to tell the bless­èd sto­ry
Since the Lord sanc­ti­fied me;
For my soul re­ceived a flood of glo­ry
When the Lord sanc­ti­fied me.

Refrain

O I ne­ver shall for­get how the fire fell,
How the fire fell, how the fire fell.
O I ne­ver shall for­get how the fire fell
When the Lord sanc­ti­fied me.

All my doubts and fears are gone for­ev­er
Since the Lord sanc­tified me;
For His peace flowed o’er me like a ri­ver
When the Lord sanc­ti­fied me.

Refrain

To the world no more my heart is turn­ing
Since the Lord sanc­ti­fied me;
For on me His Spir­it fell with burn­ing
When the Lord sanc­ti­fied me.

Refrain

There’s a crown await­ing me in Hea­ven
Since the Lord sanc­ti­fied me;
For a heart made clean to me was giv­en
When the Lord sanc­ti­fied me.
