Lyrics

While in this sin­ful world of woe,
I heard my Sav­ior’s voice;
He bade me come to Him, and now
He is my on­ly choice.

Refrain

Oh, glo­ry! what a bless­ing!
In Him I am com­plete;
’Tis won­drous grace in plen­ty
I find low at His feet.

I yield­ed then my all to Him,
He took me in His care;
He sa­tis­fied my long­ing heart
And did my bur­den bear.

Refrain

He par­doned all my ma­ny sins,
Then sanc­ti­fied my soul;
Thro’ faith in His aton­ing blood
He tru­ly makes me whole.

Refrain

I now am in the nar­row way,
My heart made pure and free,
My gar­ments spot­less thro’ the blood
That flows from Cal­va­ry.
