Representative Text

1 For Jesus’ glory, I’ll tell the story,
Of how He died for me;
His love o’erflowing, His mercy showing,
To me on Calvary.

Chorus:
It was the blood, the precious blood that took my sins away,
‘Tis still the blood, the precious blood which makes me whole today;
My passport at the gate of Heav’n, my trust in death’s dark flood;
My song in life, my hope in death, The all-atoning blood.

2 The world denied Him, and crucified Him,
His heart with anguish wring;
He bore my burden, and bought my pardon,
When on the cross He hung. [Chorus]

3 No condemnation, but full salvation,
Is there for ev’ry one;
Who comes believing, God’s grace receiving,
Thro’ merits of His Son. [Chorus]

4 Hear Mercy crying, to sinners dying,
Get right with God today;
Thro’ prayer prevailing, and blood availing,
There is no other way. [Chorus]

Lelia (Mrs. C.H.) Morris (1862-1929) was born in Pennsville, Morgan County, Ohio. 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. Although she became blind at age 52 she continued to write hymns on a 28-foot long blackboard that her family had built for her. She is said to have written 1000 texts and many tunes including "Sweeter as the years go by." Mary Louise VanDyke Go to person page >
