Author: Margaret J. Harris Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #62 (1980) Hymnal Title: Hymns of Faith First Line: When I saw the cleansing fountain Refrain First Line: I will praise Him! 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?”
Chorus:
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. (Chorus)
3 Then God’s fire upon the altar
Of my heart was set aflame;
I shall never cease to praise Him--
Glory, glory to His Name! (Chorus)
4 Blessèd 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. (Chorus)
5 Glory, glory to the Father!
Glory, glory to the Son!
Glory, glory to the Spirit!
Glory to the Three in One! (Chorus)
