I Will Praise Him

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 Tho' the way seems straight and narrow,  
All I claimed was swept away;  
My ambitions, plans and wishes,  
At my feet in ashes lay. [Refrain]  

3 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]  

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