I had wan­dered far away
In the land of migh­ty foes,
And my soul had felt the bit­ter­ness of sin;
I was march­ing with the hosts
That the truth of God op­pose,
And among the saved I was not count­ed in.

Refrain

Counted in, count­ed in,
Whosoever will be­lieve is count­ed in.
What a ju­bi­lee of joy
In the hea­vens then is heard,
When a soul among the saved is count­ed in.

But I found it writ­ten down,
Whosoever will be­lieve
In the Son of God is saved from ev­ery sin;
And I bless His ho­ly name,
That the pro­mise I re­ceive,
In that who­so­ev­er I am count­ed in.

Refrain

When the par­don full and free,
That is pro­mised in His word,
Is re­ceived by faith and Je­sus en­ters in;
What a ju­bi­lee of joy
In the hea­vens then is heard,
And a soul among the saved is count­ed in.

Refrain

Oh, my sin­ner friend, be­ware,
A re­veal­ing day is near
That will show the sec­rets of the heart with­in;
Have it cleansed by grace di­vine,
And when Je­sus shall ap­pear,
He will then among His jew­els count you in.
