196. I will Praise Him E-Flat

---

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?”

Chorus

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.

Though 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.
