New Songs of Pentecost No. 3 ‎#28

28. I Am Rejoicing

1 Once I was walking in the byways of sin
Jesus then led me to His fold;
Now I have peace that passeth knowledge within
And blessings many fold.

Refrain:
I am rejoicing; I am rejoicing,
I am rejoicing in Christ my King;
For He has sav’d me,
Daily He leads me,
While I His praises sing.

2 Gone is the darkness that enshrouded the day,
Jesus the Bright and Morning Star
Shineth with radiance on this heavenly way
And naught my peace can mar. [Refrain]

3 I am protected by an almighty arm,
Moment by moment, hour by hour;
Daily He keeps me so there cometh no harm,
I’m safe within His pow’r. [Refrain]

4 Bright is the pathway of the just here below,
But better things are still to be;
Wonderful values of an unbounded worth
For all eternity. [Refrain]
