Lyrics

All glory to Jesus be given,
That life and salvation are free;
And all may be washed and forgiven,
And Jesus can save even me.

Refrain

Yes, Jesus is mighty to save,
And all His salvation may know;
On His bosom I lean,
And His blood makes me clean,
For His blood can wash whiter than snow.

From darkness and sin and despair,
Out into the light of His love,
He has brought me and made me an heir,
To kingdoms and mansions above.

Refrain

Oh, the rapturous heights of His love,
The measureless depths of His grace,
My soul all His fullness would prove,
And live in His loving embrace.

Refrain

In Him all my wants are supplied,
His love makes my heaven below,
And freely His blood is applied,
His blood that makes whiter than snow.
