I Am So Glad Salvation's Free

Author: James Rowe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2722 Refrain First Line: Glory, honor be to His name forever Lyrics: 1. I am so glad salvation’s free to all who will receive it, Glad that the news was brought to me when I was lost and sad; Praise His dear name, I can proclaim that truly I believe it, For I am now His child, I know, and I’m so glad. Refrain Glory, honor be to His name forever, Never a greater friend the sinful race has had; Love Him, praise Him, Jesus, the matchless Savior, He has redeemed this soul of mine, and I’m so glad. 2. I am so glad that I can tell to wayward souls the story, Glad that by grace from day to day a helper I may be; Finding delight in service true, my soul is winning glory, Glory for Him who gave His life to rescue me. [Refrain] 3. I am so glad that all my heart to Jesus I have given, Glad that at eventide my soul true sheaves to Him may bring; I will be true until with all the happy throng in Heaven, Sweeter and nobler praise I give to Christ, my king. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I am so glad salvation's free]
