Once My Way Was Dark and Dreary

Once my way was dark and drea­ry

For my heart was full of sin

But the sky is bright and cheery

Since the full­ness of His love came in.

I can nev­er tell how much I love Him

I can nev­er tell His love for me

For it pass­eth hu­man mea­sure

Like a deep

un­fa­thomed sea;

’Tis re­deem­ing love in Christ my Sav­ior

In my soul the heav’n­ly joys be­gin;

And I live for Je­sus on­ly

Since the full­ness of His love came in.

There is grace for all the low­ly

Grace to keep the trust­ing soul:

Pow’r to cleanse and make me ho­ly

Jesus shall my yield­ed life con­trol.

Let me spread abroad the sto­ry

Other souls to Je­sus win;

For the cross is now my glo­ry

Since the full­ness of His love came in.
