Lyrics

I’ve found my Lord, and He is mine,
He won me by His love;
I’ll serve Him all my years of time,
And dwell with Him above.

Refrain

His yoke is ea­sy, His bur­den is light;
I’ve found it so, I’ve found it so;
His serv­ice is my sweet­est de­light,
His bless­ings ev­er flow.

No oth­er Lord but Christ I know;
I walk with Him alone;
His streams of love for­ev­er flow
Within my heart, His throne.

Refrain

He’s dear­er to my heart than life,
He found me lost in sin;
He calmed the sea of in­ward strife,
And bid me come to Him.

Refrain

My flesh re­coiled be­fore the cross,
And Sa­tan whis­pered there,
Thy gain will not re­pay the loss,
His yoke is hard to bear.

Refrain

I’ve tried the road of sin and found
Its pros­pects all de­ceive;
I’ve proved the Lord, and joys ab­ound,
More than I could be­lieve.
