1.

Praise to my God I’ll sing!
He deliv’rance did bring.
O hallelujah! Praise God, my King!
I am filled with joy,
Heav’nly joy!

Chorus:

I’m filled with happiness!
More than I can express!
Filled with heav’nly peace,
Ne’er to cease!

2.

I was in sin and need.
Satan’s crushed now with speed.
O hallelujah! From chains I’m freed.
Darkness now is gone;
Day has dawned.

3.

Vict’ry was my desire;
God sent Spirit and fire.
Shout “Hallelujah!” with heart entire!
Now I enter in—
Vict’ry win.

4.

Though many foes I meet,
Them by faith I defeat.
O hallelujah! There’s no retreat!
Free indeed and bold,
Joy untold!

5.

Sin underfoot I tread;
Self-life’s blood must be shed.
O hallelujah! Take them like bread!
Flesh is thus torn down;
Peace abounds.

6.

God, You my heart ignite!
In Your law I delight.
O hallelujah! I’ll be Christ’s bride!
This world has no hold!
Grace untold!
