106. What the Lord Has Done for Me

1 Come, dear friends, and let me tell you
What the Lord has done for me;
For he saw my bitter bondage,
And his mercy set me free.

Refrain:
We will sing it out in heaven,
And more sweetness shall be given
To the chords of that eternal harmony;
While the list’ning angels wonder
To our songs, like mighty thunder,
Telling what the Lord hath done for you and me.

2 He has written our my pardon
In a covenant signed with blood;
And the Spirit, dwelling in me,
Sheds abroad the “peace of God.” [Refrain]

3 It is sweet to tell the story
Of his kindness, day by day;
How the flowers of love bloom ‘round me,
And his smile illumes the way. [Refrain]

4 Hear the “new song” of rejoicing
He has taught my heart to sing;
Oh, the beauty of my Saviour!
Oh, the glory of my King! [Refrain]
