Meter: Common Meter Double (8,6,8,6,8,6,8,6)
I’ve learned to sing a glad, new song,
Of praise unto our King!
And now with all my ransomed pow’rs
His praises I will sing.
I’ve learned to sing the song of peace,
’Tis sweeter ev’ry day,
Since Jesus calmed my troubled soul,
And bore my sins away.
I’ve learned to sing the song of joy,
My cup is running o’er
With blessings full of peace and love,
And still there’s more and more.
Soon I shall sing the glad, new song,
Of Moses and the Lamb,
With all the sainted hosts above,
Before the great I Am.
Of praise unto our King!
And now with all my ransomed pow’rs
His praises I will sing.
I’ve learned to sing the song of peace,
’Tis sweeter ev’ry day,
Since Jesus calmed my troubled soul,
And bore my sins away.
I’ve learned to sing the song of joy,
My cup is running o’er
With blessings full of peace and love,
And still there’s more and more.
Soon I shall sing the glad, new song,
Of Moses and the Lamb,
With all the sainted hosts above,
Before the great I Am.
