Hallelujah!

I now have the Spirit that setteth me free,
Hallelujah!
My Savior’s own presence abideth with me,
Hallelujah!

Refrain

Oh, hallelujah! hallelujah!
I am glad to tell,
Oh, hallelujah! hallelujah!
With my soul ’tis well.

No longer I’m doubting His power to save,
Hallelujah!
The pleasures of earth I no longer now crave,
Hallelujah!

Refrain

So glad I can trust Him I cannot but shout,
Hallelujah!
The inbred corruption is all taken out,
Hallelujah!

Refrain

My Savior is with me each day in the year,
Hallelujah!
A constant Companion, I’ve nothing to fear,
Hallelujah!

This hymn (full title often 'Hallelujah! I Am Free') is a well-known gospel song by the prolific 19th-century composer William J. Kirkpatrick, who both wrote the lyrics and composed the tune. It appears in many of his collections from the late 1880s onward; no strong alternate attributions exist.
