I never shall forget the day,When Jesus washed my sins away,

Chorus.

Now my soul is very happy,Will you go along with me?Now my soul is very happy,Go sound the Jubilee.

I am happy in this house of clay,But what is this to perfect day?Ther,es a better day a coming:Will you go along with me?Now my soul, &c.

Though sinners persecute me here,Through Jesus Christ I'll persevere;Christ will ruin Satan's kingdom—Will you go along with me?Now my soul, &c.

A little longer here below,Then home to glory we shall go:—I am on my way to glory—Will you go along with me?Now my soul, &c.

Come on, come on, my brethren dear,We soon shall meet together there;When we'll join the saints in glory,—Will you go along with me?Now my soul, &c.
