The hymn can be found in "The New National Baptist Hymnal" #304. Published by: National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, TN. It has all three verses. The lyrics are by: Neith Dudley Washington and the music is by: E. M. Dudley Cantwell. 1923. Michael English sang this song a lot also. There is a beautiful recording with Michael English and The Brooklyn Tabernacle Mass Choir. They only do two verses. It is on Brooklyn Tab's "Live...again" CD. It is arranged by Lari Goss. Brooklyn Tabernacle has a songbook from that CD and it is in that songbook. Also it is on musicnotes.com website as well.

I know this is late but it is one of my favorite songs and I sing the Lari Goss arrangement it a lot.

The third verse was actually posted by SingerforGod on another thread (Thanks SfG!). I've copied and pasted it here in its rightful place.

3.
I thought when I saw my Savior, O glory to God;
I just fell right down before Him, singing,
"Praise to the name of the Lord."
I bowed down and worshipped Jehovah,
my Friend of Calvary, for I wanted to give praise
to Jesus for saving a sinner like me.

Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
"Holy, holy, holy."
I clapped my hands and sang,
"Glory, glory to the Son of God."

God bless!
Steve

Help Please!!! This song "I Bowed my Knees and Cried Holy" has 3 verses, but I can only find lyrics for the first 2 verses! This site has the sheet music with the first page of the 3rd verse but you have to buy the whole thing for 5 bucks in order to see the rest of the lyrics. http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mt ... =MN0062744

I learned this song on the guitar, because it was one of my father's favorite songs and now at every funeral, I am asked to play and sing it. My mothers father just died this past Tuesday and I have been asked to sing this song. I would like to sing it with all three verses, but have had the hardest time finding the final verse. Please help!

Could be right, there is an interesting note on Wikipedia about this. He claimed to write "you are my sunshine" but research indicates that he bought the song from the real composer/author. Apparently this was common practice in those days.

I believe the song is attributed to Nuttie Dudley, although Jimmie Davis certainly became associated with it during his amazing singing career.
