How Can I Keep From Singing All The Day?

Representative Text

1 How can I keep from singing all the day?
Now that my sins are all washed away?
How can I keep from shouting out with glee,
Since Christ my Savior has died for me?

Refrain:
I am saved by the blood of the Lamb,
I am saved by the blood of the Lamb.
I am saved by the blood of the Lamb,
Glory, glory, hallelujah.

2 Once was my heart so vile and full of sin;
It seemed that Christ could not enter in.
But such as me He came to redeem,
And His all-cleansing blood made me clean. [Refrain]

3 Oh, I’m so happy and so full of joy
Now that my sins can no more annoy;
And I must shout and tell to all around,
What a dear Savior I have found. [Refrain]
