Author: W. J. Henry Hymnal: Church Hymnal #95 (1951) First Line: When first I started to seek the Lord Refrain First Line: I've paid the price and obtained the prize Lyrics: 1 When first I started to seek the Lord,
I’m glad I counted the cost;
I fully measured to Jesus’ word,
I’m glad I counted the cost.
Chorus:
I’ve paid the price and obtained the prize,
He saved my soul that was lost;
And now my treasures are in the skies,
I’m glad I counted the cost.
2 I laid my sorrows at Jesus’ feet,
I’m glad I counted the cost;
And now I’ve pleasures so pure and sweet,
I’m glad I counted the cost. [Chorus]
3 I’ve bid farewell to this world of sin,
I’m glad I counted the cost;
And now my Jesus abides within,
I’m glad I counted the cost. [Chorus]
4 Although the trials seem hard to bear,
I’m glad I counted the cost;
I now my burdens with Jesus share,
I’m glad I counted the cost. [Chorus]
5 ’Twill not be long till the Lord shall come,
I’m glad I counted the cost;
And bear my soul to that heav’nly home,
I’m glad I counted the cost. [Chorus] Topics: Testimony Languages: English Tune Title: [When first I started to seek the Lord]
