47. The Great Change

1 Since I’m in Christ and pardoned from sin,
O what a world is this I’m now in!
All things are changed by power divine,
For I love Christ and know He is mine.

Refrain:
O what a change, O what a change,
Since thro’ His blood I’m saved by His grace;
And as He leads, still I shall change,
Until I see His face.

2 Fathomless love of eternal length,
Weakness has changed to wonderful strength,
All things are changed “All mine are Thine,”
For I love Christ and know He is mine. [Refrain]

3 Things I once loved are things I now hate,
Since I have entered thro’ the “Straight Gate.”
Toil all is pleasure, life is sublime,
For I love Christ and know He is mine. [Refrain]

4 That which was gain I count now but loss,
What seemed pure gold I see now was dross;
Tho’ but a branch I live in the Vine,
For I love Christ and know He is mine. [Refrain]
