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.
’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.
’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 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.
’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.
