Lyrics

I am hap­py to­day,
And the sun shines bright,
The clouds have been rolled away;
For the Sav­ior said,
Whosoever will
May come with Him to stay.

Refrain

Whosoever sure­ly mean­eth me,
Surely mean­eth me,
O surely mean­eth me;
Whosoever sure­ly mean­eth me,
Whosoever mean­eth me.

All my hopes have been raised,
O His name be praised,
His glo­ry has filled my soul;
I’ve been lift­ed up,
And from sin set free,
His blood has made me whole.

Refrain

O what won­der­ful love,
O what grace di­vine,
That Je­sus should die for me;
I was lost in sin,
For the world I pined,
But now I am set free.
