I will praise the Lord for His love to me,
I am washed in the blood of my Redeemer.
In the fount that flows from the cross so free,
I am washed in the blood of my Redeemer.
Refrain
Glory, glory, glory to the Lamb,
I am saved from sin and He makes me what I am;
Oh, glory, glory, glory to the Lamb,
I am washed in the blood of my Redeemer.
I am saved by grace, and to Him brought near,
I am washed in the blood of my Redeemer.
I would sing so loud that the world might hear,
I am washed in the blood of my Redeemer.
Refrain
What a constant peace in my heart I feel,
I am washed in the blood of my Redeemer.
There’s a holy joy I can ne’er reveal,
I am washed in the blood of my Redeemer.
Refrain
I will lift my voice while on earth I stay,
I am washed in the blood of my Redeemer.
Then my soul shall sing in the realms of day,
I am washed in the blood of my Redeemer.
