	I WILL PRAISE HIM (Celebration 497)

Representative Text

1 When I saw the cleansing fountain,
open wide for all my sin,
I obeyed the Spirit's wooing
when He said, "Wilt thou be clean?"

Refrain:
I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain!
Give Him glory all ye people,
for His blood can wash away each stain.

2 Though the way seemed straight and narrow,
all I claimed was swept away;
my ambitions, plans, and wishes
at my feet in ashes lay. [Refrain]

3 Then God's fire upon the altar
of my heart was set aflame.
I shall never cease to praise Him.
Glory, glory to His name! [Refrain]

4 Blessed be the name of Jesus!
I'm so glad He took me in.
He's forgiven my transgressions;
He has cleansed my heart from sin. [Refrain]

5 Glory, glory to the Father!
Glory, glory to the Son!
Glory, glory to the Spirit!
Glory to the Three in One! [Refrain]
