1 There is glory in my soul,
Since the Saviour made me whole,
And the brightness of his presence fills the place;
Like to that enjoyed above,
Is the sweetness of his love,
Since he saved me, sweetly saved me by his grace.
Refrain:
There is glory in my soul!
Since the Saviour made me whole;
Light is shining from above,
All around me joy and love,
Like the ocean billows roll;
There is glory in my soul!
Since the Saviour made me whole;
Light is shining from above,
All around me joy and love,
There is glory in my soul.
2 I will tell to all around,
What a Saviour I have found,
I will evermore his wondrous love proclaim;
For his blood is on my soul,
And he holds me in control,
Glory, glory, hallelujah to his name! [Refrain]
3 I will praise him while I live,
Love, obey, and service give;
Some sweet time he’ll call me to his home on high,
Where, with all the blood washed throng,
I will shout the glad new song,
While the ever blissful years are rolling by. [Refrain]
