Lyrics

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.
