Lyrics

I will sing of my Sav­ior
And tell of His love,
His com­pass­ion so bound­less and free;
He went down in­to death
To de­li­ver my soul,
And He brought full sal­va­tion to me.

Refrain

I’ll tell in glad strains
How He’s brok­en my chains,
And thrown op­en my pri­son be­low;
Bounding high on glad wing,
Like a bird I will sing,
How He saved me from sor­row and woe.

There were ma­ny sad years,
Full of grief and of fears,
And my bond­age in­creased day by day;
But He threw in His light,
And dis­pelled all my night,
And my dark­ness all van­ished away.

Refrain

Now by day and by night,
All my path­way is bright,
And my heart sings aloud in His praise;
Full sal­va­tion complete,
All my foes ’neath my feet,
And I run with de­light in His ways.
