1. I’m happy in Jesus and tell it I must,
For he has redeemed me, I know;
My sins were like crimson, my heart was defiled—
He washed me as white as the snow.
Chorus:
I’m singing because I am free, (happy and free,)
And Jesus is reigning in me; (victorious in me;)
Hallelujah! I’m happy since in him I trust,
And sing it and tell it I must (and tell it I must).
2. I’m filled with the Spirit and washed in the blood,
King Jesus is living in me;
The glory of heaven beams down on my way,
I’m sanctified, happy and free.
3. Sometimes I am tempted by Satan and sin,
Sometimes I am weary and worn;
But e’en in my darkness God’s promise is true,
And gladness returns with the morn.
4. So onward I travel to heaven above,
Thro’ glory or sadness so drear;
By faith in his promise I’ll live for the Lord,
And sing till the clouds disappear.
