Gone from my heart the world and all its charms

Composer: Stephen Collins Foster

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 Calv’ry’s tree.

Once I was lost

and fallen 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 thro’ 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.
