Hymn 40 - I Will Praise Him

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?”

Tho’ the way seemed straight and narrow,

All I claimed was swept away;

My ambitions, plans, and wishes,

At my feet in ashes lay.

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!

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

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.
