’Twas a Glad Day When Jesus Found Me

I was lost in sin when Je­sus found me

But He res­cued me

all glo­ry to His name!

And the cords of world­ly plea­sure bound me

Till He saved me from sin and shame.

’Twas a glad day when Je­sus found me

When His strong arms were thrown around me;

When my sins He bur­ied in the deep­est sea

And my soul He filled with joy and vic­to­ry.

’Twas a glad day

O hal­le­lu­jah!

’Twas a glad day He claimed His own.

I will shout a glad ho­san­na in glo­ry

When I see Him up­on His throne.

O the bells of Heav­en now are ring­ing

For I hear their tones with­in my ran­somed soul;

And my heart is filled with joy­ful sing­ing

Since the Sav­ior has made me whole.

O the joy when we shall meet in glo­ry

In the man­sions of my Fa­ther’s home above;

And through end­less ag­es tell the sto­ry

Of the Sav­ior’s re­deem­ing love.
