Since His Love Came Shining Through
Author: Gene Routh Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: I was drifting far from the "Beacon Star" Lyrics: 1 I was drifting far from the “Beacon Star”
Clouds of sin had covered the blue;
From His throne on high Jesus heard my cry,
And His love came shining thro’.
Refrain:
Since His love came shining through,
I’ve a joy that’s always new;
All the clouds are rifted
And my burdens lifted,
Since His love came shining through.
2 Thro’ the stormy night or the sunshine bright,
I’ve a song triumphant and new;
Jesus saved from sin, gave me peace within,
And His love came shining thro’. [Refrain]
3 Souls afar in sin I will help to win,
And to Christ I’ll ever be true;
Then when all is o’er I will reach that shore,
Since His love came shining thro’. [Refrain] Topics: Confession; Love; Praise - Thanksgiving Used With Tune: [I was drifting far from the "Beacon Star"]
