M J Harris

8.7.8.7.Ref.

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?

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 seems straight and narrow,

All I claimed was swept away;

My ambitions, plans, and wishes,

At my feet in ashes lay.

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.

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.

5

Glory, glory to the Father,

Glory, glory to the Son,

Glory, glory to the Spirit,

Glory to the Three in One.
