How Gladly I My Place Have Taken
Author: P. S. Vig Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #236 (1927) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How gladly I my place have taken
Among the flock of God's elect!
With them I have the world forsaken
And Jesus' coming now expect.
Redeem'd by His unbounded love,
My home will be with Christ above.
2 How sweet the words, how reassuring,
That I to God am reconciled!
His pardon for my sins securing,
My soul no longer is defil'd.
The peace of God I now possess
Which ev'ry evil can redress.
3 I bid the wicked world defiance,
Tho' fiercely it God's Word attack;
In Him I place my firm reliance
Who never takes His promise back;
Tho' earth and heaven pass away,
His Word shall evermore hold sway.
4 How gladly I His promise ponder!
Tho' sinful, yet in grace I stand;
A heritage awaits me yonder,
And heaven is my fatherland.
My Lord, as Victor in the strife,
Awards to me the crown of life.
5 How good to hear my Savior calling,
To see Him even face to face!
What bliss before Him prostrate falling
To find with Him a resting place
And with the saints in sweet accord
To sing the praise of Christ, my Lord! Topics: Following Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [How gladly I my place have taken]

How Gladly I My Place Have Taken

Composer of "VIG" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
