I Love Him

Gone are the days

When my heart was filled with sin;

Gone are the fears

That pre­vent­ed peace with­in;

Gone are earth’s woes

From their blight I am set free;

Since Christ in love and mer­cy

Freely par­doned me.

I love Him! I love Him!

Because He first loved me!

And pur­chased my sal­va­tion

On Mount Cal­va­ry.

Once I was bound

But now I am set free;

Once I was blind

But now by faith I see;

Once I was dead

But now in Christ I live;

And tell the world of par­don

He doth free­ly give.

Why should I weep

When my heart can feel no pain?

Why should I sigh

When death in Christ is gain?

Victor o’er sin

Thro’ Him who once was slain

I’ll shout eter­nal prais­es

Glory to His name!
