728. What a wonderful change

1 What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul for which long I have sought,
since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain:
Since Jesus came into my heart,
since Jesus came into my heart,
floods of joy o'er my soul like the sea billows roll,
since Jesus came into my heart!

2 I have ceased from my wandering and going astray
since Jesus came into my heart!
And my sins which were many are all washed away
since Jesus came into my heart! [Refrain]

3 I'm possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure,
since Jesus came into my heart!
And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,
since Jesus came into my heart! [Refrain]

4 There's a light in the valley of death now for me,
since Jesus came into my heart!
And the gates of the city beyond I can see,
since Jesus came into my heart! [Refrain]

5 I shall go there to dwell in that city, I know,
since Jesus came into my heart!
And I'm happy, so happy, as onward I go,
since Jesus came into my heart! [Refrain]
