The Savior came one summer day, And took my load of sin away; From guilty fears He gave release, And filled my soul with joy and peace. Refrain O hallelujah to the Lamb! I’ll praise His name for what I am! For on that bright and happy day He washed my many sins away. O glory be to Jesus’ name! The Spirit as the Witness came; He turned me from my sinful ways, And filled my heart with songs of praise. Refrain I walked in peace from day to day, And sought my Savior to obey; But to my grief I found within That stubborn thing, indwelling sin. Refrain In vain I strove to watch and pray, And walk in triumph day by day; The foe would take me by surprise, And sinful passions would arise. Refrain By grace divine, the path was plain, I saw the old man must be slain; Upon the cross I groaned and died, And, like my Lord, was crucified. Refrain O hallelujah to the Lamb! Forever praise the great I AM! He can the strong man safely bind, And free us from the carnal mind. O joy divine! in that same hour The Lord of glory came in power; He freed me from indwelling sin, And now He sweetly dwells within. Refrain
