Chorus 246 - 249

 
246      (G)      RH 644     MP 369
What a wonderful change
In my life has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart,
I have light in my soul
Which so long I had sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
 
Chorus: Since Jesus came into my heart,
                 Since Jesus came into my heart,
                 Floods of joy o'er my soul
                 Like the sea billows roll,
                 Since Jesus came into my heart.
 
2) I have ceased from my wand'ring
And going astray
Since Jesus came into my heart,
And my sins which were many
Are all washed away
Since Jesus came into my heart. 
 
3) I'm possessed of a hope
That is steadfast and sure
Since Jesus came into my heart,
And no dark clouds of doubt
Now my pathway obscure.
Since Jesus came into my heart.
 
4) There's a light in the valley
Of death now for me,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
And the gates of the city beyond I can see,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
 
5) I shall go there to dwell
In that city I know,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
And I'm happy, so happy as onward I go,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
 
247    (C)    RH 555    MP 358 OB 166
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessed,
He'll prepare for us a place.
Chorus:
When we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We'll sing and shout the victory.
 
2) While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when trav'ling days are over,
Not a shadow, not a sigh.
 
3) Let us, then, be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving every day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.
 
4) Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we'll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open,
We shall tread the streets of gold.
248     (Eb)     MP 477     OB 23
My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine.
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.
 
2) By Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire,
As Thou hast died for me
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm and changeless be,
A living fire.
 
3) While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide.
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away.
Nor ever let me stray
From Thee aside.
 
4) When Jesus comes for me
In power and majesty,
To take me home
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove,
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.
 
249    (Ab)    RH 217    MP 486 OB 139
I'm rejoicing night and day,
As I walk the pilgrim way,
For the hand of God in all my life I see,
And the reason of my bliss,
Yes, the secret all is this;
That the Comforter abides with me.
Chorus: He abides, He abides,
  Hallelujah, He abides with me!
  I'm rejoicing night and day,
  As I walk the narrow way,
  For the Comforter abides with me.
 
2) Once my heart was full of sin,
Once I had no peace within,
Till I heard how Jesus died upon the tree;
Then I fell down at His feet,
And there came a peace so sweet,
Now the Comforter abides with me.
 
3) He is with me everywhere,
And He knows my every care,
I'm as happy as a bird and just as free;
For the Spirit has control,
Jesus satisfies my soul,
Since the Comforter abides with me.
 
4) There's no thirsting for the things
Of the world - they've taken wings;
Long ago I gave them up, and instantly
All my night was turned to day,
All my burdens rolled away,
Now the Comforter abides with me.
