What Hath the Lord Done for Thee?

Representative Text

1 What hath the Lord done for thee?
I was laden with sin when I came unto Him,
But He harkened to my earnest plea;
He had promised to save, and He freely forgave—
All this hath the Lord done for me.

Refrain:
All this hath the Lord done for me:
He hath banished my night, He hath made my heart white—
All this hath the Lord done for me.

2 What hath the Lord done for thee?
When I found that within was inherited sin,
Unto Him for relief did I flee;
By the blood from His side, He my soul sanctified—
All this hath the Lord done for me. [Refrain]

3 What hath the Lord done for thee?
He hath banished my night with His glorious light,
For my bondage He gives liberty;
All my sorrow of heart He hath caused to depart—
All this hath the Lord done for me. [Refrain]

4 What hath the Lord done for thee?
He doth give me each day grace to walk in His way,
Makes me happy each moment I see;
And with joy He fills up and o’erfloweth my cup—
All this hath the Lord done for me. [Refrain]
