144. Jesus Took My Heart

1 When by thoughts of sin
Burdened and distressed,
Longing for a place of refuge
On some shelt’ring breast.

Refrain:
Jesus took my heart
Close in His embrace;
Made it strong and smiles upon me,
Saved me by His grace.

2 From the mire of sin,
From each evil thought,
I am henceforth kept securely,
Out of danger brought. [Refrain]

3 When I doubted most,
When my faith was weak,
When a word in Jesus’ favor
I refused to speak. [Refrain]

4 Now the way is clear,
Doubtful shadows flee,
Since from darkness, in great mercy
Christ delivered me! [Refrain]
