I was lost in sin when Je­sus found me,
But He rescued me, all glo­ry to His name!
And the cords of worldly pleasure bound me,
Till He saved me from sin and shame.

Refrain

’Twas a glad day when Je­sus found me,
When His strong arms were thrown around me;
When my sins He buried in the deepest sea,
And my soul He filled with joy and vic­to­ry.
’Twas a glad day, O hallelujah!
’Twas a glad day He claimed His own.
I will shout a glad hosanna in glo­ry
When I see Him upon His throne.

O the bells of Hea­ven now are ringing,
For I hear their tones within my ransomed soul;
And my heart is filled with joyful singing
Since the Sav­ior has made me whole.

Refrain

O the joy when we shall meet in glo­ry,
In the mansions of my Fa­ther’s home above;
And through endless ages tell the story
Of the Sav­ior’s redeeming love.

Refrain
