Author: John W. Peterson Hymnal: Praise! Our Songs and Hymns #537 (1979) First Line: Gone is the guilt of my sin Refrain First Line: New life in Christ, abundant and free Lyrics: 1 Gone is the guilt of my sin,
Peace is now reigning within;
Since I believed—pardon received—
Happy so happy I’ve been.
Refrain:
New life in Christ, abundant and free!
What glories shine, what joys are mine,
What wondrous blessings I see!
My past with its sin, the searching and strife,
Forever gone—there’s a bright new dawn!
For in Christ I have found new life!
2 Brighter the journey each day,
Tho there is much to dismay;
Heaven awaits—bright pearly gates—
There at the end of the way. [Refrain]
3 Come with your sin-burdened heart,
Christ will His cleansing impart;
He will forgive—in Him you’ll live
O how the joy-bells will start. [Refrain] Topics: Witness and Testimony Tune Title: [Gone is the guilt of my sin]
New Life!
