Author: E. J. Barber Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8526 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Refrain First Line: Then I said, O gentle Savior Lyrics: 1 In the days of early childhood,
While my heart yet knew no care,
Jesus came and softly whispered,
"Shun the tempter’s fatal snare."
Refrain:
Then I said, "O gentle Savior,
Ere I am by sin beset,
I will surely heed Thy warning,
Tho’ I am not ready yet."
2 "He is waiting, hoping, planning
In his wild satanic glee,
To destroy thy soul forever,
But I’ll save thee—come to Me." [Refrain]
3 On in sin I blindly wandered,
By the tempter’s voice beguiled,
Never pausing to consider
That my soul was sin defiled. [Refrain]
4 On the brink of death’s dark river,
I must wait in deep despair,
Heaven’s portals closed against me,
None that’s sinful enter there. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: FRISCO
