165. Jesus Touched My Heart

1 Jesus touch’d my sinful heart,
Bade my tears repentant start,
Showed me all my guilt and sin,
Made me clean and pure within.

Refrain:
Jesus touch’d my heart with his pow’r divine,
His pow’r divine, his pow’r divine;
Jesus touch’d my heart with his pow’r divine,
I’m happy since his love is mine.

2 Jesus touch’d my sinful heart,
Bade me walk with him apart,
Stooped my lamp of faith to trim,
Made me feel my need of him. [Refrain]

3 Jesus touch’d my sinful heart,
Bade my evil tho’ts depart,
Softly whispered in my ear
Tender words of hope and cheer. [Refrain]

4 Jesus touch’d my sinful heart,
Bade me choose the better part,
Led me gently to his breast,
Fill’d my soul with peace and rest. [Refrain]
