| 1. Oh, bless the Lord,
He cleansed my soul,
And filled my lips with singing;
He came in my poor, sinful heart,
And set the joy-bells ringing.
Refrain.
Oh, praise the Lord,
He first loved me;
I feel new life upspringing;
He came in my poor, sinful heart,
And set the joy-bells ringing.
2. He placed my feet upon the Rock,
The only sure foundation;
He shows me wonders of His grace,
The blessings of salvation.
Refrain.
Oh, praise the Lord,
He first loved me;
I feel new life upspringing;
He came in my poor, sinful heart,
And set the joy-bells ringing.
3. His promise is “for all the days,”
His love for me is caring;
While in the
“Father’s House” above,
A mansion He’s preparing.
Refrain.
Oh, praise the Lord,
He first loved me;
I feel new life upspringing;
He came in my poor, sinful heart,
And set the joy-bells ringing.
4. His love is calling, seeking still,
Come, every burden bringing;
The touch of Christ within your heart
Will set the joy-bells ringing.
Refrain.
Oh, praise the Lord,
He first loved me;
I feel new life upspringing;
He came in my poor, sinful heart,
And set the joy-bells ringing.
