Why He is so dear to me?
Nor with its stars the night.
Gone my trans­gress­ions, and now I am free,
Life is filled with song,
start
I am both weak and sin­ful; but this I sure­ly know,
It is my Lord and Christ di­vine,
I will glad­ly tell you why.
What won­drous hon­or ’twill be,
To touch a ten­der chord,
Him will I love, and His will I be,
He nev­er for­gets His own.
Yea, an­gels sang that God with us was born;
start
And I know He watch­es me.
So dif­fi­cult to bear.
That soul-sav­ing sto­ry, old yet new,
We thank Thee, Lord, for this our good,

be­cause

That the Bi­ble is God’s ho­ly Word,
Because to earth He came
From my sins hath set me free.
She is so won­drous fair
Dying for me, dy­ing for me,
Christ my Sav­ior lives,
I hope for Heav’n there­by,
I’m glad my bless­èd Sav­ior was once a child like me,
I know He’s mine, this friend so dear;
To die for me.
Puts a crown of His glo­ry on me!
I was then out of touch with the Lord.
Him will I love, and His will I be,
With ang­uish and cru­el pain,
And they made mirth be­cause we should not mourn.
Is free from sin and pure and whole
I sing be­cause I’m free,
He left His throne on high;
’Tis sung by beau­ti­ful an­gels in glo­ry,
Let man­na to our souls be giv’n,
