Lyrics

My soul shouts glo­ry to the Son of God,
For the work free grace has done;
My faith looks up­ward with a stead­fast eye
That is clear as the noon­day sun.

Refrain

Hallelujah! hal­le­lu­jah!
Hallelujah to the Sav­ior I adore;
I will praise Him, I will praise Him,
Hallelujah! I will praise Him ev­er­more.

My soul shouts glo­ry to the Son of God,
Not a cloud nor care I see;
My hope is cling­ing with a per­fect trust
To the cross He has borne for me.

Refrain

My soul shouts glo­ry to the Son of God,
In His sec­ret place I dwell;
His con­stant pre­sence ov­er­shades me there,
And my joy there is none can tell.

Refrain

My soul shouts glo­ry to the Son of God,
And I know it won’t be long
Till o’er the river, where the saints have gone,
I shall join their eter­nal song.
