1. Long mine eyes were drown’d in tears,
And my soul was fill’d with fears,
And I heeded not the swiftly passing years;
For thro’ many a weary day,
O’er a long and desert way
From the fold of Christ, my Shepherd, I did stray.
(Chorus)
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah, hallelujah!)
Jesus saves me, (Jesus saves me, Jesus saves me.)
And my head is sweetly pillowed on his breast; (hallelujah;)
Hallelujah, hallelujah! (Hallelujah! Jesus saves me,)
His shekinah covers me, and I am blest.
2. Now I doubt and fear no more.
All my heart with bliss runs o’er,
And I can but love him, praise him and adore;
Skies above me never low’r,
Bright is ev’ry fleeting hour,
And I sing the day of Jesus’ mighty pow’r.
3. O how precious is his grace!
O to come to that fair place
Where our souls may drink the light of his dear face!
There before his shining seat
All his sainted ones shall meet,
Casting down their crowns before his pierced feet.
4. Will you join us, brother dear,
While his voice of love and cheer
Now is calling you?—O hasten to his side;
Ev’ry day you wait is lost,
Sad will be the fearful cost
If you blindly spurn at last the Crucified.
