If you’ll list­en un­to me,
A stor­y to you I’ll tell,
How Je­sus Christ the Son of God
Came in my heart to dwell;
And by His migh­ty pow­er
He’s changed my night to day,
And now I’ve a life that’s filled with joy,
Since Je­sus came to stay.

Refrain

I bless the hap­py day
When Je­sus came to stay,
And tho’ my sins were crim­son red,
He’s tak­en them all away;
And by His migh­ty pow­er,
He’s changed my night to day,
And now I’ve a life that’s filled with joy,
Since Je­sus came to stay.

Before He came to stay
I had my doubts and fears,
I longed to know the peace and joy
I felt in oth­er years;
Now Sa­tan is cast out,
And ev­ery pass­ing day
God gives me strength my foes to meet,
Since Je­sus came to stay.

Refrain

Yes, since my Sav­ior came
Within my heart to dwell,
He helps me learn the liv­ing way,
And do His bless­èd will;
And when at last He sees
My work on earth is done,
I’ll then go shout­ing home to God,
To re­ceive the crown I’ve won.

Refrain
