Hymn 226

Open wide for all my sin

Mrs. M.J. Harris

Verse 1

Open wide for all my sin,

I obeyed the Spirit’s wooing,

When He said, “Wilt thou be clean?”

Chorus

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;

Give Him glory all ye people,

For His blood has washed away my stain.

Verse 2

Though the way seemed straight and narrow,

All I claimed was swept away;

My ambitions, plans and wishes,

At my feet in ashes lay.

Chorus

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;

Give Him glory all ye people,

For His blood has washed away my stain.

Verse 3

Then God’s fire upon the alter

Of my heart was set aflame;

I shall never cease to praise Him,

Glory, glory to His name!

Chorus

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;

Give Him glory all ye people,

For His blood has washed away my stain.

Verse 4

Blessed be the name of Jesus!

I’m so glad He took me in;

He has forgiven my transgressions,

He has cleansed my heart from sin.

Chorus

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;

Give Him glory all ye people,

For His blood has washed away my stain.

Verse 5

Glory, glory to the Father!

Glory, glory to the Son!

Glory, glory to the Spirit!

Glory to the Three in One!

Chorus

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;

Give Him glory all ye people,

For His blood has washed away my stain.
