2 things about this hymn I love, mention of the blood of Christ, also talking about cleansing heart from sin, very much talking about the second blessing in that "everything is on the altar".
When I saw the cleansing fountainOpen wide for all my sin,I obeyed the Spirit’s wooing,When He said, “Wilt thou be clean?”RefrainI will praise Him! I will praise Him!Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;Give Him glory, all ye people,For His blood can wash away each stain.Though the way seems straight and narrow,All I claimed was swept away;My ambitions, plans and wishes,At my feet in ashes lay.RefrainThen God’s fire upon the altarOf my heart was set aflame;I shall never cease to praise HimGlory, glory to His Name!RefrainBlessèd be the Name of Jesus!I’m so glad He took me in;He’s forgiven my transgressions,He has cleansed my heart from sin.RefrainGlory, glory to the Father!Glory, glory to the Son!Glory, glory to the Spirit!Glory to the Three in One!
Blessèd be the Name of Jesus!I’m so glad He took me in;He’s forgiven my transgressions,He has cleansed my heart from sin.For His blood can wash away each stain. Amen. This song is a blessing not only me but to many.
