|
| 1. | Gone from my heart the world and all its |
| | charms; |
| | Now through the blood I'm saved from all |
| | alarms; |
| | Down at the cross my heart is bending low; |
| | The precious blood of Jesus cleanses white as |
| | snow. |
| | I love Him, I love Him, . |
| | Because He first loved me, |
| | And purchased my salvation on Calv'ry's |
| | tree. |
| 2. | Once I was lost, and fallen deep in sin; |
| | Once was a slave to passions fierce within; |
| | Once was afraid to meet an angry God, |
| | But now I'm cleansed from every stain thro' |
| | Jesus' blood. |
| 3. | Once I was bound, but now I am set free; |
| | Once I was blind, but now the light I see; |
| | Once I was dead, but now in Christ I live, |
| | To tell the world around the peace that He |
| | doth give |
