54. Since the King Came In

1 O what wondrous joy there is in my soul,
Since the King came in;
Thro’ redeeming grace I have been made whole,
Since the King came in.

Refrain:
Since the King came in,
Since the King came in;
What a holy peace is mine,
O, what happiness divine,
Since the King of kings came in.

2 Ev’ry dreary shadow has gone away
Since the King came in
Ev’ry night is changed to a golden day,
Since the King came in. [Refrain]

3 Ev’ry song I sing is a song of praise,
Since the King came in;
Ev’ry place I dwell is a holy place
Since the King came in. [Refrain]

4 I am sweetly kept by His mighty pow’r,
Since the King came in;
All my needs supplied ev’ry passing hour,
Since the King came in. [Refrain]
