Representative Text

1 Oppressed with grief and with burdens sore,
In sin I wandered astray;
My Savior found me, my sins he bore,
They’re all taken away.

Refrain:
They’re all taken away! away!
They’re all taken away!
My sins, tho’ many, appall no more,
They’re all taken away.

2 My Savior’s coming no more I dread,
My sins no longer dismay;
To purge their stain, on the cross he bled,
They’re all taken away. [Refrain]

3 My heart rejoices in perfect peace,
My Lord I gladly obey;
From sin’s great burden I found release,
They’re all taken away. [Refrain]

4 My sins, tho’ grievous, the Savior used
His wondrous love to display;
He freed my soul, tho’ I long refused,
They’re all taken away. [Refrain]
