Melodious Sonnets ‎#30

30. My Hope and My Glory

1 I am walking with the Lord, and believing in his word,
I am happy as a heart can be;
I am singing all the day how he washed my sins away
Thro’ the precious blood he shed for me.

Refrain:
O the cross where my Saviour hath bless’d me
My hope and my glory shall be;
I am singing all the day how he washed my sins away
Thro’ the precious blood he shed for me.

2 Now my way is growing bright, and my soul is full of light,
My Redeemer’s guiding hand I see;
If a thousand worlds were mine, I would gladly all resign
For the rapture of his love to me. [Refrain]

3 I was once a burdened soul, but my Saviour made me whole
His redemption all my theme shall be;
I will sing it till I die, and proclaim beyond the sky
What the grace of God has done for me. [Refrain]
