Representative Text

1 Yes, I hear my Saviour calling,
In the sweetest accents calling,
And in full, complete surrender now I come;
All my awful guilt confessing,
Seeking yet a Father's blessing,
Trusting to His love so tender, O I come.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Yes, I'll take Him at His promise and be saved!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Yes, I'll take Him at His promise and go home.

2 Long a stranger have I wandered,
All my living have I squandered,
Till I've come to desolation in the way;
O my sins so low have laid me,
There is so one now to aid me,
I intend to take salvation right today. [Refrain]

3 O I hear the angels singing,
News of sweet salvation bringing,
And I see the golden mansions over there,
From my Father's house in glory;
There my Saviour's gone before me,
Me a place in those bright mansions to prepare. [Refrain]

4 Jesus' blood has made atonement,
Bringing God and me atonement,
And my spirit, "Abba, Father," now can cry;
For that blood now justifies me,
Cleanses, too, and sanctifies me,
And I'm going to my Father's home on high. [Refrain]
