1. Blessed Jesus! how He saves me!
Keeps me underneath the blood;
Satisfies my soul’s deep longing,
Fills me with the peace of God.
Peace which passeth understanding,
Joy unspeakable divine;
Thrills my soul with heav’nly rapture,
When He whispers, “Thou art mine.”
Chorus:
Glory! glory! hallelujah!
(Glory! glory! hallelujah! hallelujah!)
Thro’ the blood I now am free;
(Thro the blood I now am free, I now am free;)
I am satisfied with Jesus,
(I am satisfied, yes, satisfied with Jesus,)
He is all the world to me.
(He is all the world to me, yes, all to me.)
2. Day by day my heart grows lighter,
For He dwells supreme within;
Reigning there triumphant over
All the pow’rs of self and sin.
Oh, the precious, precious moments,
When I lie low at His feet;
Feasting on the hidden manna
Of communion calm and sweet.
3. If I would I could not tell you,
Of the hours of perfect rest;
When He draws me gently to Him,
Folds me closely to His breast.
Whisp’ring words I dare not utter,
Messages of tend’rest love;
Till my soul, enwrapp’d in glory,
Shares the bliss of saints above.
