Gone from My Heart

lyricist: London Hymn Book
Composer: Stephen Foster (1826–1864)

Gone from my heart the world and all its charms;

Now through the blood I’m saved from all alarms;

Down at the cross my heart is bend­ing low;

The pre­cious blood of Je­sus

Cleanses white as snow.

I love Him

I love him

Because He first loved me

And pur­chased my sal­va­tion

On Cal­va­ry’s tree.

Once I was lost

and way down deep in sin;

Once was a slave to pas­sions fierce with­in;

Once was afraid to meet an ang­ry God

But now I’m cleansed from ev­ery

Stain through Je­sus’ blood.

Once I was bound

but now I am set free;

Once I was blind

but now the light I see;

Once I was dead

but now in Christ I live

To tell the world around

The peace that He doth give.
