1 From the fold I went astray,
Wandered far from Christ away,
But He sought me, and He bought me with His blood;
From all sin He cleanseth me,
From its fetter makes me free,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise the Lord!

Refrain:
He’s the Saviour of my soul,
For His blood doth make me whole;
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise the Lord!

2 I was lost in darkest night,
Till He led me to the light;
Now He guides me, walks beside me all the way,
Now a glory lights the place,
‘Tis the shining of His face,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise the Lord! [Refrain]

3 Praise the everlasting word,
Praise to Jesus Christ, the Lord,
For He keeps me, safely keeps me by His grace,
He is evermore the same,
Glory to His precious name!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise the Lord! [Refrain]
