LYRICS:
Oh, when I was out in the world of sin
I had no one to be my friend
Jesus came and he taken me in
Glory, hallelu
And he taken my feet out the miry clay
He placed them up on a rock to stay
I thank God that I can say
Glory, hallelu
Oh, Glory how happy I am
Oh, Glory how happy I am
My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb
Glory, hallelu
I was out in darkness and I could not see
Jesus came and he rescued me
He claimed me and gave me a victory
Glory, hallelu
And one day while Jesus was passing by
He set my sinful soul on fire
He made me laugh and he made me cry
Glory, hallelu
Oh, Glory how happy I am
Oh, Glory how happy I am
My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb
Glory, hallelu
When I could not understand
Jesus, he give me a lending hand
Led me away to the promised land
Glory, hallelu
Oh, well he give me a horn and he told me to blow
Go in peace and sin no more
He led me away to the upright shore
Glory, hallelu
Oh, Glory how happy I am
Oh, Glory how happy I am
My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb
Glory, hallelu
I know something that's mighty swell
A sweet little story I love to tell
Jesus saved my soul from Hell
Glory, hallelu
Oh, stand back Satan, get out of my way
I don't want to hear not a word you say
I'm on my way to the King's highway
Glory, hallelu
Well thank God I got over at last
Thank God I got over at last
My feet is planted in the narrow path
Glory, hallelu
Oh, Glory how happy I am
Oh, Glory how happy I am
My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb
Glory, hallelu
When I had no home to claim
I begin to call on Jesus' name
He saved me from old Satan's chains
Glory, hallelu
Now I'm fire-baptized and holy ghost-filled
I'm out here to do my master's will
I must keep going, I must keep
Glory, hallelu
Oh, Glory how happy I am
Oh, Glory how happy I am
My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb
Glory, hallelu
"Oh Glory, How Happy I Am"

I just discovered Rev. Gary - but I was a fan of his MUSIC, ever since 1971 I heard a tape of Hot Tuna's "Death Don't Have no Mercy."
I hope that somebody who reads this post will know how to CORRECT the mis-titled bits of his work on Youtube.
His own rendition, posted as "In this land" is of course wrongly titled.
I also notice that at least one post refers to "Gery Davies" (SIC). Both these simple errors, surely all will agree, SHOULD be rectified, so more searches will be fruitful.

Guess I don't know much about seeger but he sure is damn annoying in all these videos trying to play along with the greats and making himself look like a 1st year student.
Django Reinhardt. ... ( 1 week ago by tbcass)
Django Reinhardt. Due to being burned he could use only 2 fingers on his left hand. With all due respect to Rev Davis, Reinhardt was a far more advanced guitar player (Jazz) but he was not a singer or song writer.

pete seeger is a legend in his own right so have some respect. i see why you may be annoyed at his trying to play along with everyone but he came from the old days of folk playing where people would all play togeter and join in and enjoy the music and whatnot. plus you have to remember this is his tv show and he's helping show the greats to a wider audience. and just so you know he was a huge figure in the civil rights movement and always fought for justice. and rev davis is amazing.
