1 I have said goodby to the sinful past;
Now within the vail is my anchor cast;
Like the wayward son who return’d at last,
I am safe in the Father’s home.
Chorus:
I’ve exchang’d my life for a life that’s new;
I am walking now with the faithful few;
And my garment of sin I have laid aside
For the robe that adorns His bride.
2 O the wondrous depths of redeeming grace!
Jesus stoop’d so low to restore our race;
O the hallow’d heights of His matchless love,
Lifting man to the realms above! [Chorus]
3 There is hope for all; for the Christ who died,
Who on Calv’ry’s cross once was crucified,
Calls the wand’rers home to His waiting breast,
“Come to Me, and ye shall find rest.” [Chorus]
4 Soon amid the light of eternal days
We will lift a hymn of perennial praise
To the Lamb who reigns on the jasper throne,
Who for sinners did here atone. [Chorus]
