I Thought I was Too Great a Sinner

Author: Rev. F. L. Snyder Hymnal: Crowning Day, No. 6 #244 (1904) First Line: I tho't I was too great a sinner Refrain First Line: Oh, I am so glad I found Him such an all-sufficient Friend Lyrics: 1 I tho’t I was too great a sinner when the Saviour called to me, That His mercy could not reach me nor from sin could make me free; But I found I was mistaken, for He died upon the tree That He might redeem the sinner, even such an one as me. Refrain: Oh, I am so glad I found Him such an all-sufficient Friend, And I want to ever love Him and to serve Him to the end. 2 I tho’t I was too great a sinner, I had wand’red far astray, And my sins rose up as mountains and obscured the light of day; All was dark, so dark before me, when there shone a lustrous ray From the cross of my dear Saviour, and my burden rolled away. [Refrain] 3 I tho’t I was too great a sinner in His love to share a part, And I almost feared to ask Him for a place in His dear heart, But I found there room abundant, and a welcome kind and free, And I lift my voice to praise Him for His wondrous grace to me.
