17. O What a Change

1 O what a change from a world of despair,
Glory divine with my Saviour to share;
Where once was gloom now ‘tis light ev’rywhere,
O what a change! O what a change!

Refrain:
O what a change from the burden of sin
O what a change! O what a change!
O what a change in my life there has been,
O what a change!

2 O what a change! yet he’s always the same
Pardon and peace not alone would I claim,
There comes to all who believe on his name
O what a change! O what a change! [Refrain]

3 O what a change! Now his face I can see,
Once hid from view now ‘tis glorious to me;
Once bound with sin, what a joy to be free,
O what a change! O what a change! [Refrain]

4 O what a change when the garments I own
Shall be replaced by a robe and a crown,
When at his feet I my burdens lay down,
O what a change! O what a change! [Refrain]
