1 Cleared from all my sin, my condemnation gone,
Waves of gladness o’er my spirit roll;
Holding sweet communion with my new-found Lord,
There is glory, glory in my soul.
Refrain:
There is glory, glory in my soul today,
Wondrous glory, glory, all along the way,
Heaven’s holiest blessings o’er my spirit roll;
There is glory, glory in my soul.
2 As we walk together in the pilgrim way
In a fellowship of love divine,
Faith and hope grow brighter with each newborn day,
There is glory in this soul of mine. [Refrain]
3 Peace that passeth telling now my heart doth know,
And my life is full of joy and song;
Heaven’s purest pleasures thrill me as I go,
And my soul is happy all day long. [Refrain]
4 I can rest securely on His faithful Word
As I journey in the narrow way,
And be happy in the love of my dear Lord
Who with glory fills my soul each day. [Refrain]
