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.

Refrain

I love Him, I love him,
Because He first loved me,
And pur­chased my sal­va­tion
On Cal­va­ry’s tree.

Once I was lost, and way down 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 through Je­sus’ blood.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
