Hymns of the Comforter ‎#76

76. The Glory Song

1 I never shall forget the day
When Jesus washed my sins away;
Nor yet the hour when He came in,
And cleansed my heart from inbred sin.

Refrain:
O glory, glory is my song,
‘Tis glory, glory all day long;
A sinner saved by grace divine,
To live for Jesus, shout and shine.

2 I’m praising Him for keeping pow’r,
For victory since that glad hour;
When I received the Holy Ghost,
‘Tis in the Lord alone I boast. [Refrain]

3 I’ve sweet communion day by day,
With Jesus in this holy way;
There’s not a shadow twixt my soul
And Him who keeps me clean and whole. [Refrain]

4 Though tears of pain and sorrow fall,
Though Satan striveth to appall;
An undercurrent in my soul,
Of peace and joy doth ceaseless roll. [Refrain]

5 Since I have found the “double cure,”
The things that did my soul allure,
Have lost their charms, I’m satisfied,
With Christ alone—the Crucified. [Refrain]

6 This feeble tongue can ne’er express
What He hath wrought—my life to bless;
But then, up there, empowered I’ll be
To tell what Christ has done for me. [Refrain]
