God so loved the world of sin­ners,
That His on­ly Son He gave;
Whosoe’er in Him be­liev­eth,
Everlasting life shall have.

Refrain

Bright and glo­ri­ous was the dawn­ing
Of His love with­in my heart,
When I joined the ran­somed ar­my
And of Christ be­came a part;
When I joined the ran­somed ar­my,
And of Christ be­came a part.

He was bruised for my trans­gress­ions,
By His stripes my soul is healed;
And the gen­tle, lov­ing Shep­herd
In His blood my par­don sealed.

Refrain

All my guil­ty past lies bur­ied
In the deep­est depths of sea;
God my sins no more re­mem­bers;
Christ, my king, hath made me free.

Refrain

Fled our sigh­ing, night and sor­row;
Joy and glad­ness now I know;
In my mas­ter’s name I tri­umph
O’er my soul’s most bit­ter foe.
