The Sinner's Awakening

Author: E. H. Roy Meter: 11.11.11.11 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: I’ve heard of a city that’s far, far away Lyrics: 1 I’ve heard of a city that’s far, far away, Where there is no darkness, but one cloudless day; The streets of that city are paved with pure gold; The walls are of jasper, and grand to behold; Where Jesus, the Savior, is King of all kings, Where angels rejoice in the songs that they sing: I heard the sweet story, though far, far away, And traveling the road that had led me astray. 2 But in that lone darkness I heard a voice say, Now listen to Me, I’m the Life and the Way. I stood in amazement, ’twas so new to me, I heard those sweet words, but no one could I see. The voice spoke again, listen to what it said: Come, drink of My blood and eat living Bread. I was so amazed I could not understand, Till one of God’s servants expounded the plan. 3 He told of the Savior, who died on the tree, To save a poor sinner, a sinner like me; I saw my condition, I saw my sad plight, I dropped on my knees, and I prayed for the light; I rose from my knees, and the darkness was gone, The light of the Gospel most brightly now shone: The darkness had faded fore’er from my sight, And I understood now that God was the light. 4 Then I was as happy as happy could be, For I knew my Savior had saved one like me; Then why should I trouble, or why longer roam? ’Tis Jesus, my Savior, prepares me a home. And soon the dark clouds will roll back as a scroll, Revealing the city whose streets are of gold; With shouting the saints shall ascend up on high, And dwell in those mansions beyond the blue sky.
