1 I will tell the world around me
How my blessed Saviour found me,
How he broke the chains that bound me,
And my sins he washed away;
Oh, my grateful heart is glowing,
And with joy is overflowing;
I will praise my dear Redeemer,
I will praise him all the day.

Refrain:
I am glad, I am glad,
I am glad that Jesus found me!
With his precious blood he bought me:
Hallelujah to his name!
I enjoy a perfect blessing,
And his constant love possessing,
Ev’ry promise he has left me
For myself I now can claim.

2 From the cold and barren mountain
To the precious, cleansing fountain
How he led me like a shepherd,
When my soul was far away;
To the cross I now am clinging,
And my happy song is ringing;
I will praise my dear Redeemer,
I will praise him all the day. [Refrain]

3 In his mercy I am hiding,
In his shadow still abiding:
He is teaching me with patience,
How to labor, watch, and pray.
I am trusting and believing,
I am asking and receiving;
I will praise my dear Redeemer,
I will praise him all the day. [Refrain]
