Author: Margaret J. Harris Hymnal: The Celebration Hymnal #497 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain First Line: When I saw the cleansing fountain Lyrics: 1 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.
2 Tho' the way seems straight and narrow,
All I claimed was swept away;
My ambitions, plans and wishes,
At my feet in ashes lay. [Refrain]
3 Blessed 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]
4 Glory, glory to the Father!
Glory, glory to the Son!
Glory, glory to the Spirit!
Glory to the Three in One! [Refrain] Topics: Adoration and Praise Jesus Our Savior; New Life in Christ Invitation and Acceptance Languages: English Tune Title: I WILL PRAISE HIM
