My Blessed Saviour

Author: C. H. M. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When on Calv'ry's cross he died Refrain First Line: And I shall live because he died Lyrics: 1 When on Calv'ry's cross he died, When "'Tis finished," Jesus cried, Heaven's gates were opened wide, My blessed Saviour; He then conquered death for me, O'er the grave brought victory; He has triumphed gloriously, My blessed Lord. Chorus: And I shall live because he died, And I shall live because he died, Jesus Christ, the crucified, I shall live because he died. 2 For a lost and ruined race Jesus suffered in our place; He has brought redeeming grace, My blessed Saviour; Vict'ry o'er the grave we sing, Where, O death, is now thy sting? Let the hallelujahs ring My blessed Lord. [Chorus] 3 Now he doth for us prepare Heav'nly mansions bright and fair, And his glory we shall share, My blessed Saviour; Farewell tears all wiped away, Night exchanged for endless day, We shall reign with him for aye, My blessed Lord. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [When on Calv'ry's cross he died]

When her family moved to Malta on the Muskingum River she and her sister and mother had a millinery shop in McConnelsville. She and her husband Charles H. Morris were active in the Methodist Episcopal Church and at the camp meetings in Sebring and Mt. Vernon. She wrote hymns as she did her housework.
