Here is another wonderful Christian hymn. For myself, I know things are much different since Jesus came into my heart. Things are not always easy, but I do have a peace deep down inside that passes understanding. I guess it is because I have made peace with God. He has filled the emptyness with Himself and has given me a new hope for life beyond this one. Have you taken this step also?To hear this hymn click on the MIDI file below.
Words: Rufus H. McDaniel, 1914. McDaniel wrote these words after the death of his son. Music: Charles H. Gabriel, 1914 (MIDI, score).
What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul for which long I had sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
Refrain
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Floods of joy o’er my soul
Like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.
I have ceased from my wandering and going astray,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And my sins, which were many, are all washed away,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
Refrain
I’m possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
Refrain
There’s a light in the valley of death now for me,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And the gates of the City beyond I can see,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
Refrain
I shall go there to dwell in that City, I know,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And I’m happy, so happy, as onward I go,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
Refrain
Bonnie,
I love these old hymnals. Actually, they kind of renew the soul when we sing them. 🙂
Love,
