Here are the lyrics to "I Will Praise Him", words and music by Margaret Harris:

1.
When I saw the cleansing fountain
Open wide for all my sin,
I obeyed the Spirit's wooing,
When He said, "Wilt thou be clean?"

Refrain
I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;
Give Him glory, all ye people,
For His blood can wash away each stain.

2.
Though the way seems straight and narrow,
All I claimed was swept away;
My ambitions, plans and wishes,
At my feet in ashes lay.

Refrain

3.
Then God's fire upon the altar
Of my heart was set aflame;
I shall never cease to praise Him
Glory, glory to His Name!

Refrain

4.
BlessÃ¨d be the Name of Jesus!
I'm so glad He took me in;
He's forgiven my transgressions,
He has cleansed my heart from sin.

Refrain
