Very little is known about Margaret Jenkins Harris, the author and musical composer of this joyful gospel hymn. She was born in 1865 in Rushville, Illinois, and was married to Evangelist John Harris. The couple was active in revival and camp meeting ministry throughout the Midwest.

This hymn is adapted and changed considerably. These are the original lyrics. They are wonderful.

When I saw the cleansing fountain

Open wide for all my sin,

I obeyed the Spirit’s wooing

When he said, Wilt thou be clean?

Refrain:

I will praise him, I will praise him,

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;

Give him glory all ye people,

For his blood can wash away each stain.

Though the way seemed straight and narrow,

All I claimed was swept away;

My ambitions, plans, and wishes,

At my feet in ashes lay.

Then God’s fire upon the altar

Of my heart was set aflame;

I shall never cease to praise him,

Glory! glory! to his name.

Blessed be the name of Jesus,

I’m so glad he took me in;

He’s forgiven my transgressions,

He has cleansed my heart from sin

Margaret played the organ and sang with her husband in their evangelistic meetings. She edited “Spirit Songs” and “Glorious Gospel in Song, ” both collections published by Christian Witness Publishing Company of Chicago. “He Took My Sins Away” was another well-loved song she wrote.

“I Will Praise Him” was written in 1895 as a personal testimony, relating to the time when she realized she was a sinner and needed God’s forgiveness. The song emphasizes reasons why Christians should praise the Lord, stressing Christ’s cleansing blood, as had been prophesied in Zechariah 13:1. When the straight and narrow path is chosen, Christ’s guidance is experienced in the life that is surrendered to Him. In John 6:37, we are promised that when He takes us in, we will never be cast out. The refrain bursts forth with praise and with the charge to “give Him glory all ye people, For His blood can wash away each stain. ”

Margaret Jenkins Harris died in 1919 in Miami, Florida. Her name will probably not be remembered by many, but untold numbers have been blessed by the singing of this hymn. For decades the refrain was spontaneously sung during prayer and testimony meetings in Bible-preaching churches throughout the Midwest. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalm 34:1)

THE FATHER, THE SON, THE SPIRIT

In the New Testament there are two books that reveal that God is triune more clearly. In the first book of the New Testament, Matthew, we see how God became incarnated, born of a virgin, to be a man called Jesus (1:21-23). The very God through the incarnation became a man. Then, after He died and resurrected, He became the Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45). This is why, in the last chapter of Matthew, the Lord told His disciples to go and disciple the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (28:19).

In the Gospel of John it is the same. John does not mention the Father, the Son, and the Spirit all in one sentence as Matthew does. But John does mention the Father, the Son, and the Spirit many times. In this Gospel the Lord Jesus speaks of how He was sent by the Father, and that He can do nothing of Himself: “I can do nothing from Myself... I do not seek My own will but the will of Him who sent Me” (5:30).

THE TRIUNE GOD FOR DISPENSING HIMSELF INTO MAN

Why must God be the Father, the Son, and the Spirit? As we have seen in the Old Testament, it is for God to deal with man. In the New Testament it is further revealed that it is for God to dispense Himself into us. The Triune God is for the dispensing of Himself into man,

To know the hymns we have to know some of the crucial points of the contents of the hymns. First, we must know some of the hymns on the blessing and experience of the Triune God. The word blessing is used here not to refer to the good things the Triune God has given us but to the praise, the blessing, we offer to Him. An example of a good hymn on the blessing of the Triune God is #7—"Glory, glory, to the Father!"—and an example of a good hymn on the experience of the Triune God is #608—"What mystery, the Father, Son, and Spirit." We also need to know hymns in the categories of the praise of the Father and the praise of the Lord.
