Lyrics

Sing, my soul, oh, sing with rap­ture
Of God’s won­drous love to thee,
How He broke the chains of dark­ness,
And from death hath set thee free.

Refrain

Oh the glo­ry, ra­di­ant glo­ry,
Shining in my soul to­day;
All of dark­ness, doubts and sad­ness,
Are for­ev­er passed away.

Oh, the bliss of this sal­va­tion,
Full sal­va­tion from all sin,
Pardoned, cleansed, and saved for­ev­er,
Jesus Christ en­throned with­in.

Refrain

I am saved, I have the wit­ness,
Of the Spir­it, full and free;
All is peace, and joy, and glad­ness,
Jesus Christ abides with me.

Refrain

We are one, oh bless­èd un­ion,
Heav’nly fel­low­ship di­vine;
Day by day we walk to­ge­ther,
I am His, and He is mine.

Refrain

Soon with­in the gold­en ci­ty,
Where my loved ones wait for me,
There the King in His own beau­ty,
Face to face I soon shall see.
