1 Precious Savior, Thou hast saved me;
Thine, and only Thine I am;
Oh! the cleansing blood has reached me!
Glory, glory, to the Lamb!

Refrain:
Glory, glory, Jesus saves me,
Glory, glory to the Lamb!
Oh! the cleansing blood has reached me!
Glory, glory, to the Lamb!

2 Long my yearning heart was trying
To enjoy this perfect rest;
But I gave all trying over;
Simply trusting, I was blest. [Refrain]

3 Trusting, trusting ev’ry moment;
Feeling now the blood applied;
Lying at the cleansing fountain;
Dwelling in my Savior’s side. [Refrain]

4 Consecrated to thy service,
I will live and die to thee;
I will witness to thy glory
Of salvation full and free. [Refrain]

5 Yes, I will stand up for Jesus;
He has sweetly saved my soul,
Cleansed me from inbred corruption,
Sanctified, and made me whole. [Refrain]
