I’m Glad I Counted the Cost

When first I start­ed to seek the Lord

I’m glad I count­ed the cost;

I ful­ly mea­sured to Je­sus’ word

I’m glad I count­ed the cost.

I’ve paid the price and ob­tained the prize

He saved my soul that was lost;

And now my trea­sures are in the skies;

I’m glad I count­ed the cost.

I laid my sor­rows at Je­sus’ feet

I’m glad I count­ed the cost;

And now I’ve plea­sures so pure and sweet

I’m glad I count­ed the cost.

I’ve bid fare­well to this world of sin

I’m glad I count­ed the cost;

And now my Je­sus ab­ides with­in

I’m glad I count­ed the cost.

Although the tri­als seem hard to bear

I’m glad I count­ed the cost;

I now my burd­ens with Je­sus share

I’m glad I count­ed the cost.

’Twill not be long till the Lord shall come

I’m glad I count­ed the cost;

And bear my soul to that heav’n­ly home

I’m glad I count­ed the cost.
