Text:I'm glad that Jesus came

208. I'm glad that Jesus came

1 I would still be lost in sin
With no joy and peace within,
If the Savior had not come;
O, how dark the path would be
With no ray of hope to see
If the Savior had not come.

Refrain:
I'm glad that Jesus came
And bore my sin and shame,
That His promise I can claim
I want to praise Him more
While here and on that shore
I'm so glad that Jesus came.

2 I could never lift my voice,
In a song of praise rejoice,
If the Savior had not come;
I could feel now warmth above
Of the soul's redeeming love,
If the Savior had not come. [Refrain]

3 I would moulder in the ground,
Waiting not the trumpet's sound,
If the Savior had not come;
I could never upward rise,
Live with Him in paradise,
If the Savior had not come. [Refrain]
