49.  O Say But I’m Glad

There is a song in my heart today, Something I never had; Jesus has taken my sins away, O! Say but, I’m glad.

O! Say, but I’m glad, I’m glad, O! Say, but I’m glad, Jesus has come and my cup’s overrun; O! Say, but I’m glad.

2.

Wonderful, marvelous love he brings, Into a heart that’s sad; Thro' darkest tunnels the soul just sings, O! Say but, I’m glad.

O! Say, but I’m glad, I’m glad, O! Say, but I’m glad, Jesus has come and my cup’s overrun; O! Say, but I’m glad.

3.

We have a fellowship rich and sweet, Tongues can never relate; Abiding in him: my soul’s retreat, O! Say but, I’m glad.

O! Say, but I’m glad, I’m glad, O! Say, but I’m glad, Jesus has come and my cup’s overrun; O! Say, but I’m glad.

4.

Won’t you come to him with all your care, Weary and worn and sad?  You, too, will sing as his love you share,

O! Say but, I’m glad.

O! Say, but I’m glad, I’m glad, O! Say, but I’m glad, Jesus has come and my cup’s overrun; O! Say, but I’m glad.
