Joy to the World ‎#50

50. From Death unto Life

1 Till I learned to love thy name,
Lord, thy grace denying,
I was lost in sin and shame,
Dying, Dying, Dying!

Chorus:
This is now my constant theme,
This my favorite story.
Jesus' blood avails for me,
Glory, Glory, Glory!

2 Nothing could the world impart,
Darkness held no morrow;
In my soul and in my heart,
Sorrow, Sorrow, Sorrow!

Chorus:
This is now my constant theme,
This my favorite story.
Jesus' blood avails for me,
Glory, Glory, Glory!

3 When I learned to love thy name,
O thou meek and lowly,
Rapture kindled to a flame,
Holy, Holy, Holy!

Chorus:
Hallelujah, grace is free,
I will tell the story.
Jesus' blood hath made me free,
Glory, Glory, Glory!

4 Henceforth shall creation ring
With Salvation's story,
Till I rise with thee to sing
Glory, Glory, Glory!

Chorus:
Hallelujah, grace is free,
I will tell the story.
Jesus' blood hath made me free,
Glory, Glory, Glory!
