My sin’s forgiv’n! I’m bound for heav’n! All glory be to God! 2 The promise is for whomsoe’er His mercy doth implore; “Thy many sins,” he says, “will I Remember never more.” [Refrain] 3 How blest is he whose sin and guilt (He strove in vain to hide) Are covered with the precious stream That flows from Calv’ry’s side! [Refrain] 4 O precious blood! O love divine! What words thy praise can show? Or speak the rapture that is mine, Since this, through grace, I know? [Refrain] Used With Tune: [When thought of sinful days gone by]
