Glad Surrender

Verse 1

O day of glad surrender, When Jesus made me whole, When fire from heaven’s alter, Flashed thro’ and thro’ my soul; When at the feet of Jesus, I gave up self and sin, And found the heav’nly treasure, Of Christ enthroned within.

Chorus

I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m glad I have surrendered; All hail! All hail! The pow’r of Jesus’ name.

Verse 2

Since I have let my Savior Assume the full control, What raptures, O! what raptures, Abide within my soul; I’ve heard this blessed promise, To strengthen and defend, To go before and lead me, In triumph to the end.

Verse 3

Beholding this bright vision, My heart has lost its pain, I’ve reached the land Elysian, And learned its glad refrain; The clouds that gathered o’er me, Before I found this way, Are gone, and now around me, Shines life’s unsullied day.

Verse 4

Surrendered to His keeping, Let Jesus take command; My time, my all committed To His upholding hand; His word shall be my counsel, His smile, my heart’s bright sun, His service, life’s sweet mission, His holy will be done.
