Lyrics

When I saw the cleansing fountain
Open wide for all my sin,
I obeyed the Spi­rit’s wooing,
When He said, Wilt thou be clean?

Refrain

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glo­ry, all ye people,
For His blood can wash away each stain.

Though the way seems straight and narrow,
All I claimed was swept away;
My ambitions, plans and wishes,
At my feet in ashes lay.

Refrain

Then God’s fire upon the altar
Of my heart was set aflame;
I shall ne­ver cease to praise Him
Glory, glo­ry to His name!

Refrain

Blessèd be the name of Je­sus!
I’m so glad He took me in;
He’s forgiven my transgressions,
He has cleansed my heart from sin.

Refrain

Glory, glo­ry to the Fa­ther!
Glory, glo­ry to the Son!
Glory, glo­ry to the Spi­rit!
Glory to the Three in One!
